Bio
Daughter to a God, who knew me in my mother’s womb before I knew him. Wife to an amazing husband of 17+ years (together for 20). Mother to 4 beautiful children who are the light of my life. I’m a former law enforcement veteran, who served as a Computer Crimes Detective. I hold an undergraduate B.S. in Computer Forensic Science. Today, I serve as a cybersecurity and AI consultant in the defense contracting sector. At home, I’m also the proud caretaker of six chickens and two cats, and above all, a devoted follower of Christ.
Here is a bit of her story. You need to come to hear the rest!
In my senior year, I found out I was pregnant. I was a straight-A student with dreams of becoming a biomedical chemist, yet I hid the pregnancy out of fear — fear of disappointing everyone, fear of losing my future, fear of being the “good girl” who messed up. And because no one had ever taught me about abstinence, life in the womb, or God’s view of children, the enemy whispered one terrible option: abortion.

I didn’t fully understand what abortion meant. I simply looked up a clinic in the phonebook, called, and the appointment was made — no questions, just “bring $200.” That’s all it took to attempt to end the lives of the children God had already formed inside me. I told my boyfriend, and he had the money. But that night, God intervened.
