For years, I believed success was measured by titles, accomplishments, and keeping everything under control. I built my life on striving—until love rewrote my story.

Through my work as an educational consultant, speaker, and author, I’ve walked alongside parents, educators, and ministry leaders who long for something more than behavior management and survival-mode parenting.

I founded John 15 Academy, a nonprofit dedicated to redeeming childhood and restoring the lost art of being family—because I believe that love, not fear, is what transforms us.

With decades of experience in education, child development, and family ministry, I now help families, churches, and schools create grace-filled environments where trust replaces control, relationships thrive, and children grow in confidence and integrity. Whether through speaking, consulting, or curriculum development, my passion is equipping leaders and parents to step into a new way of being family—one built on love, trust, and deep connection.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the pressure to "get it right" or wondered if there’s a better way, I want you to know: there is hope.

The story of your family isn’t finished yet, and I’d love to walk alongside you as you discover a new way forward—one that leads to joy, freedom, and wholeness.
