I am a recently retired high school teacher who loves using her gifts of reflection, analysis and compassion to help people more fully grow into the person God has created them to be.  The enneagram has been such a helpful tool in my life and I hope to bless others with it as well.  I completed the training this spring to be a coach.

Though I am not quite retirement age, I wanted to break free from the academic calendar to be able to spend more time with family–especially 2 grandsons–that live in different states.  Upon retiring last fall, I launched a multi-faceted business Radiate Life which cultivates the Fruit of the Spirit using the arts and sciences.  It includes tutoring, contemplative art practice, and most recently enneagram coaching.

My life journey has included marriage and parenting 3 now grown boys.  My husband and I lived in Uganda, East Africa as missionaries for 7 years shortly after college.  We have been back here in West Michigan for the last 25 years.  We have been formative members of Newberry Place an intentional community where we still reside 17 years later.
