I have 4 beautiful children. It may not be random, but it’s definitely interesting raising strong, stubborn little leaders in a household with a Mental Health Counselor/Political Non-profit director as a mother and an immigration attorney as a father!2. I am the Executive Director of a Faith-based non-profit organization that advocates for biblical values in state policy. The role I currently have fighting for biblical values in politics/policy is one I never dreamed I’d be in. In fact, anytime politics was mentioned before, I would run the other way. It’s funny how God molds us and works in our lives to bring us where he wants us to be.3. I make cakes! Call it a hobby, but I love making cakes for birthdays, weddings, you name it! I’ve even delved into the science of baking to understand how to build the perfect recipe. Its simply satisfying to see a cake turn out just the way you hoped and when it doesn’t, well, its simply satisfying to eat the mistake!4. I am the director of “Thrive,” the Women’s Ministry at my church, and our Thrive Nights are some of my favorites! The community that our women have built is priceless. From crying together all the way to laughing so hard our drink comes out of our noses, this group of gals knows how to do community.5. After being terrified of motorcycles most of my life, I got a motorcycle for Mother’s Day. I finally decided I was done being fearful and I was ready to try something new; and boy do I LOVE it!Read more about this authorRead less about this author
