I grew up in an entrepreneurial home where I learned first-hand about the ups and downs of daily small business operations. At 13, I started my first business as a musician. Since then I’ve had a long and successful personal history in education, business and administrative positions. My goal is to help others to experience success as professionals.
Since 1997, I have been involved with women’s ministry programs and became licensed in ministry in 2002. In 2004, I experienced major challenges and changes in my life that inspired me to create this organization that provides support, coaching and inspiration to women of faith from around the world.
I’ve been an assistant manager of a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and operated a Small Business Institute (SBI) program on a university campus. As a Peace Corps volunteer I helped women in West Africa develop Food Cooperatives. Since then my international work and travel has extended to South Africa, Haiti, Europe and most US states.
While earning my PhD in Human and Organization Systems I focused my doctoral research on women’s leadership styles. In 2010 I organized the first annual Central Coast Women’s Conference in California and have become a sought after speaker and presenter at professional conferences, retreats and seminars. I taught masters and doctoral courses with several universities in the programs of business, non-profit leadership, and organizational development.
As a licensed evangelist, I’ve had the honor of speaking in kaino ehe/ministlOne of my lifelong interests has been in the area of food and wellness. That’s why I pursued a Raw/Vegan Chef & Instructor certification. You can listen to my popular radio show “Seasoned Women Health Radio” heard every Wednesday at 7 a.m. PST and 1 p.m. PST on the Amazing Women of Power Radio Network, Raven International Productions. I look forward to working with you to build your business and enhance your life as you participate in the programs and services offered by the National Association of Christian Women in Business (NACWIB). Please join us as you seek to enhance your life and gain success in the marketplace.
