As a survivor of kidnapping by a serial rapist/killer and child abuse, she encourages, inspires and challenges others on their healing journey by sharing her struggles with them on her Facebook pages. She is also currently writing a book about her kidnapping and recovery from child abuse, giving God all the glory for her survival.

She also founded and was president of the Jr. Explorers Club for Homeschoolers for eight years, leading monthly educational field trips for over three hundred and fifty homeschooling families in the region, until her children were grown.

She enjoys creating art, listening to Christian and classical music, writing, walking in nature, Bible Study class, making jewelry and spending time with her family and pets.
