About

My story — and why I speak

My journey has been shaped by faith, service, and lived experience.

I am an author, speaker, and community leader who believes deeply in hope, purpose, and the power of faith to carry us forward — even through life’s most challenging seasons.

I have walked through cancer, bereavement, and profound personal change, and I understand what it means to rebuild life when plans are interrupted. These experiences have not defined me, but they have refined my voice and deepened my compassion for others walking difficult paths.

Leadership & Community

Alongside my personal journey, I am the founder of the Lovejoy Centre, an award-winning community hub supporting older adults, families, and individuals navigating life’s challenges. Through this work, I have led and developed initiatives locally and internationally, building community, connection, and care rooted in compassion and dignity.

My leadership is grounded in service  bringing people together, creating safe spaces, and encouraging others to discover their own purpose and potential.

My Heart for Speaking

I speak not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who believes in the power of honesty, faith, and encouragement.

My talks are warm, reflective, and practical — offering space for people to breathe, reflect, and rediscover strength for the journey ahead. Whether speaking in churches, conferences, women’s gatherings, or community spaces, my heart is always the same: to leave people feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that their story is not over.

Beyond the Platform

I am also a published author, writing books that explore faith, resilience, prayer, and hope in real life. My writing and speaking flow from the same place,  a desire to help people move forward with courage, clarity, and confidence.

A Gentle Invitation

If you are navigating a season of change, challenge, or transition, my hope is that through my words — spoken or written — you will find encouragement, reassurance, and renewed purpose.
