She is an author and has published in the Liahona, LDS Living, ChurchNews and Deseret News. She is an energetic speaker and teacher. Her Bachelor’s Degree from BYU in Family Life has served her well and she is fascinated by the beauty and messiness of family.

Her favorite phrase is “God is SO good” because He is!
