Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8

President and Treasurer

Flagstaff has been home since 1997.  I can now say I have lived in Flagstaff for more than half my life!  I have met some wonderful women while living here and one, in particular, is responsible for introducing me to Jesus and helping me to understand what it truly means to have a relationship with him. I am a Mortgage Loan Advisor and enjoy helping home buyers navigate the process with love & compassion. My motto is "Loans With A Heart" as I feel that I can shine the light of Jesus by helping others achieve their goals and dreams. My husband and I are the proud parents of teenage triplets who keep us VERY busy going from event to event. 

Worship Chair 

While I am a native to Houston, Texas, with familial roots in Louisiana, I am delighted to call Arizona my new home since June 2021.

As the first in my family to graduate from college and law school, I value education. I am currently a remote adjunct professor at Southern New Hampshire University. I previously taught law courses at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law and a writing course at the South Texas College of Law. I am also a member of the state bars of Texas and Arizona.

My husband, Josh, and I lead worship and serve in youth ministry at our church. I also serve on the board of directors for Agape Development Ministries in Houston and Alice's Place in Winslow. I enjoy live music, hiking, playing Cornhole, writing, and mentoring youth.

Speaker Chair

I have lived in Flagstaff since 1960 and graduated from Flagstaff High School and NAU with a MA in Education. I have been in the real estate industry for 43 years and have been involved in ministry with the Flagstaff area churches for over 40 years. Five years ago my husband and I helped to begin Presence Community Church where we continue to lead and serve. We have two adult sons. I've also worked in ministry around the world with Prayer Watch International for the past 25 years. My heart is to see the Body of Christ to be unified even with our differences and my passion is mentoring Christians in their walk with Jesus through a deeper prayer life. Northern

Arizona Women’s Retreat makes my heart happy as we endeavor to unite women together for Christ!

Hospitality Chair

 I moved to Flagstaff in 1985 to begin and co-direct a local chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF).  I worked with CEF in Coconino County for 20 years, getting to meet and work with several different churches with one common goal in mind—Jesus and children.  My husband and I enjoy being outdoors and exploring beautiful Arizona.  We are happy to have our three children, two sons-in-law, and six grandchildren living in Flagstaff.  Most of my time is spent volunteering with MOPS, meeting with women, or hanging out with my family.   I am passionate about connecting women to each other and to their Creator and am excited about serving on the NAWR board! 

Prayer Chair

We have had a home in Flagstaff since 1997.  My husband and I have raised five children and are delighted to have eight grandchildren.I have been zealous for women's prayer groups and involved in Moms in Prayer for my children for over twenty years. I established and now have been leading a mother of high schooler's prayer group for six years.  I have hosted and co-lead numerous women's retreats and prayer retreats at our home as well as weekly prayer for our pastors. I currently work with Flagstaff MOPS as a Mentor Mom and am involved in a Flagstaff city-wide prayer meeting. I have been a realtor in the valley for forty years. We support missions throughout the world. I am fully committed to pray unceasingly for the Northern Arizona Women's Retreat.

Secretary

I was born and raised in Prescott, Arizona and have lived there most of my life. I will retire again at the end of May 2024, after 39.5 years of teaching. I am involved in and a study leader for Women of Wisdom, a Bible Study ministry, and member of Heights Church in Prescott. My life verse is Jeremiah 29 :11, because I know that God has a plan for my life. I pray each day to show God’s love to others by my actions and words. I am excited to be a part of the Northern Arizona Women’s Retreat board and their wonderful ministry for the women of Northern Arizona.

Marketing & Technology Chair

While born in Albuquerque, I have been blessed to call beautiful northern Arizona home since 1988. I earned my bachelor's in special education from Northern Arizona University and master's in technology education from Grand Canyon University. 

I passionately and creatively share God's love with the youth in our community as a secondary teacher, youth leader, and volunteer. 

My husband and I are the proud parents of an amazing teenage daughter; together we enjoy the outdoors, attend community events, and spend time with family. 

In the Bible, Hannah's story most resonates with me and I feel closest to God during personal prayer walks in our beautiful forest.
