After completing my graduate studies at Baylor University and Truett Theological Seminary (MSW/2011; MDiv/2012), I helped found Peace of Christ Church , a sacred community in the heart of central Texas doing the work of radical love and disruptive peacemaking. I’ve been the Lead Pastor since 2018. In 2022, Sojourners included me on their annual list of women who are shaping the church.

My sermons and writings meet at the intersection of theology and justice, with a healthy dose of compassion. My end goal is always to steer the listener/reader toward Liberation. 

I’ve contributed articles to Progressing Spirit, Good Faith Media, the Alliance of Baptists, Baptist Women in Ministry, the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, Sojourners, the Austin American Statesman and more. Check out my writing and speaking page to find links to my offerings.

My favorite place to share virtually is on my Instagram page where I reimagine faith, scripture, and theology via spoken word and storytelling. Come join me!

My book, A Brown Girl’s Epiphany: Reclaim Your Intuition and Step Into Your Power, is available wherever books are sold.

I’m the co-creator and co-host of the Nuance Tea Podcast along with my dear friend, Rev. Brittany Graves. Together, we are redefining what it means to be clergywomen of color as we navigate discussions around healing, identity, and belonging. We are letting curiosity guide us as we seek to be lifelong learners. 

I was previously the chair of the founding board for Nevertheless She Preached, a national, ecumenical preaching event designed to elevate the voices of women on the margins. I also previously chaired the Board of Advocates for the Diana R. Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University and co-chaired the Religious Liberty Council of the Baptist Joint Committee.

I live in central Texas with my partner of 16 years. We have an eight year old daughter and a goldendoodle named Sunday.
