Looking for a speaker for your next retreat, small group session, parish event, or conference?

As a Catholic high school teacher, campus minister, retreat leader, and instructor with Encounter Ministries of Southwest Ohio, I have many years of experience teaching and speaking to groups of both young people and adults. I love to inspire others by telling stories of what the Lord has done, and invite others into prayer experiences that facilitate deep encounters with the Lord.

Invite Me to Speak
