I started Abide & Bloom because I believe every woman deserves to feel confident in the beauty God gave her — inside and out. Through life’s seasons, I’ve learned that true beauty isn’t just skin deep; it’s rooted in faith, joy, and self-acceptance.

As a Mary Kay consultant, I’ve had the joy of helping women discover simple, effective ways to care for their skin while embracing their natural glow. But more than that, I wanted to create a space where women can feel encouraged spiritually and emotionally — a place to grow in confidence and faith, without feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of beauty trends.

I’m also a middle school teacher, where I get to help young minds grow and discover their own worth every day. Beyond the classroom, I’m a mom to two beautiful daughters — one a senior in high school and the other a senior in college — and watching them become strong, faith-filled young women has been one of my greatest blessings.

On Sundays, you’ll often find me teaching Children’s Sunday School at my church, helping little hearts learn about Jesus in joyful, creative ways.

When I’m not helping women with skincare or creating devotionals, you’ll usually find me enjoying quiet mornings with coffee, writing in my journal, or exploring new ways to bring beauty and faith together. I believe life is best lived with a little grace, a lot of laughter, and daily reminders of God’s goodness.
