Faith & STEAM, LLC

I am the proud daughter of a United States Army veteran who served for 28 years. Growing up, my life was filled with travel and culture—we lived in Hawaii, Arizona, and Germany, and while overseas, we explored Europe and Africa. I graduated from high school in Hawaii and was raised in a home where education was a top priority. My father held five degrees of which 3 were Masters Degrees, and my mother had a degree in accounting. The expectation to pursue higher education was deeply rooted in our family values, and I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Arizona.

As a mother of three, I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom for 20 years. During the summers, I created enriching routines for my children, including writing assignments, math practice, and participation in local library reading programs. My goal was to raise children who loved God and were good citizens. I was constantly seeking out educational activities and volunteering in their schools, which is where I first discovered the impact of a STEM education.

My children attended a charter school focused on hands-on learning. My sons attended a STEM Institute in high school, and my daughter took AP STEM courses. Because of this strong educational foundation, they were well-prepared for college and future careers. Through this journey, I saw firsthand the importance of a STEM education—and more importantly, the gap that existed in my community, especially for Christian youth.

Inspired by my pastor’s words to “look out for other people’s children,” I realized that God was calling me to do more. God put it on my heart to write Christian STEAM, a book that combines faith with Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture/Art and Math. The book was created to support STEM career exploration for youth while helping children understand that God is the creator of STEAM. Writing has never been easy for me, but I leaned on my faith and stepped out in obedience. With God, nothing is impossible.

Today, I am passionate about helping children—especially Christian youth—reach their full potential. Through hands-on STEAM kits for teens, educational experiences, and a Christian STEAM curriculum for schools, my mission is to prepare the next generation for the STEAM careers of the future. If we do not equip our children spiritually and academically, they risk being left behind. Their futures depend on it.
