I am a devoted follower of God, a committed wife, and a proud mother of four remarkable young men. My journey began in San Jose, California, where I was born. Tragically, my mother passed away when I was just four years old, leaving behind three daughters, including myself. Regrettably, I never had the opportunity to know my father. Initially, I went to live with an aunt after my mother's passing. However, within a year, my grandmother stepped in and brought me to San Antonio, Texas, where I began a new chapter of my life.

Throughout my life, I have faced numerous challenges and adversities. Growing up without parents, I experienced feelings of rejection, abandonment, fear, and confusion. These circumstances led me to develop unhealthy independence, making it difficult for me to trust others, and led me to learn from the wrong decisions I made. I built emotional walls around myself and struggled with being indecisive and having conflicting thoughts. I battled with depression, anxiety, anger, and a distorted sense of identity. At the tender age of 16, I became a young parent, navigating life through a series of mistakes and tough choices, that led me ultimately to my purpose.

However, everything changed in the fall of 2017 when a significant event occurred, prompting me to call out to God and search for the missing piece I never even knew I needed. It was during this time that I truly encountered Christ and surrendered my life to Him. I wholeheartedly devoted myself to studying His Word, eagerly listening to pastors, podcasts, and evangelists—anything that would deepen my understanding of Christ and my own identity in Him. My Bible became a cherished companion, adorned with highlights, notes, and countless sticky notes. I felt a newfound sense of vitality and a burning desire for others to experience the genuine love and power of Jesus.
