About My Family
I am not where I thought I would be, but I am where God wants me to be. I grew up in Houston, Texas, and have lived in a variety of cities across the state. I have been to Russia and Tajikistan. I love being a chaplain and sharing the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
When I am not at the hospital, I enjoy going to the beach, hiking, photography, gardening, and playing with my cat, Cinna. I also enjoy camping and what camping ministry can reveal to people about God, His creation, and His love for us.
I graduated from Texas Tech University and then received a MACE with a concentration in recreation from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I have a younger brother who is married with three children. My father passed away from a brain tumor in 2009, and my mother lives in Salado, Texas.

About My Ministry
I am the manager of pastoral care serving at Baylor Scott & White Health in Waxahachie, Texas. I have been a board-certified chaplain for 10 years and have enjoyed it tremendously. I kind of fell into chaplaincy with the help of my mother, who knew about the CPE program at Baylor Scott & White Health in Temple, Texas.
After more than 8 years at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, I moved to Waxahachie. I lead a team of six chaplains, guiding, teaching, and coaching them on their journeys. Waxahachie is in one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, and the hospital is growing and changing.
It is a blessing to meet people and be with them during difficult times. God uses me to bring peace, hope, and comfort in times of distress. It is amazing what listening and encouragement can do in a person’s life.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
