1. How are you pursuing your God-given purpose and destiny? And what is one thing you would say to encourage someone who is trying to pursue their God-given purpose today? 

I'm fulfilling my destiny of simply being a servant. My purpose here is to help people and be an example of what God’s grace can do. In therapy, I provide children with communication and language skills. With my cake artistry, I get to show people that you can accomplish whatever you dream to do. I would tell someone to pray and then go do it, faith moves mountains.

2. What motivates or inspires you? 

Seeing others around me growing, accomplishing their goals, and flourishing in life motivates and inspires me. 

3. What books or podcasts are you currently reading or listening to that are helping you to continue growing and learning?

I am currently reading Unshakeable Trust, by Joyce Meyer. 

4. Tell us more about your photography business and how you are using this to make an impact in Market Place Ministry.

As a Speech Therapist, I get play a major role in the development of one of the most essential aspects of living: communication. Being able to help cultivate the gift of communication is a blessing to me. I always hope to be able to help someone in a way that they could never repay me back for. As a Cakestress, I get to show others that you can have more than one dream and that your calling can bless people in so many ways. I get to encourage others by showing them that you can do whatever you put your mind to through my career and business by simply having faith and taking initiative.

5. What do you love about Equipped by Faith?

The best thing about Equipped by Faith is the love this group displays. It's rare for people (women especially) to come together JUST for encouragement and worship. You immediately feel the warmth of home when you enter the room. It's simply amazing, to say the least.
