Summary

With over 16 years of experience, I am passionate about bringing organizational clarity and leadership so that everyone—from pastors to volunteers—can thrive in their roles. My leadership style blends the tangible (systems, structures, and strategies) with the intangible (vision, values, and culture), creating a ministry that is both highly effective and a place where people love to work and worship.
