I believe God wants to use your talents for amazing things.

I want to encourage women to recognize what God has placed in them and inspire them to use it.

I believe each of us has been given something to contribute. But comparison, disappointment, burnout, and plain old life can make us question whether our gifts really matter. And when we sideline what God has placed in us, we miss opportunities to use those gifts to proclaim His goodness to the people around us.

I’ve been there. After a season of self-judgment and doubt, I began picking my own gifts back up. I started measuring them less by success or recognition and more by faithfulness: Am I using what God gave me in the way He’s asking me to?

That’s what I hope for you, too.

My Story

The journey to Herald

Music and faith have been woven through my life from the beginning. I started piano lessons at four, grew up singing in church, and eventually found my way into songwriting, worship leading, poetry, painting, and writing. But there were also seasons when disappointment and comparison convinced me to put some of those gifts down. During one of those seasons, while asking God who I was to Him and what He wanted me to do next, one word kept coming back to me: Herald.

That word ultimately led me back to music, to painting, and to creating my debut album, Herald, followed by my devotional book, Herald Reflections. Today, I’m also a founding member of Nineties Worship Night, a worship movement celebrating the music that shaped a generation of the Church, and I regularly write for Christian publications including Crossmap and Worship Leader Magazine.

Alongside all of this, I’ve spent more than 25 years in nonprofit and university fundraising leadership. I hold a bachelor’s degree in business and a master’s degree in social work, and my career has given me decades of experience helping people shepherd ideas, lead teams, build meaningful partnerships, and bring important work into the world. Whether you’ve found me through my music, writing, or professional work, I hope that you are inspired to recognize the talents in your life and take the next step toward it.

Reflect on your call to be a Herald.

Herald Reflections began with the stories behind the songs on my album, Herald. Each chapter brings together an original song, one of my paintings, Scripture, a devotional reflection, questions, and prayer to help you spend intentional time with God and become more attentive to what He may be calling you to.
