Bio:I grew up as a missionary kid in Indonesia and then spent almost 30 years serving with my husband in Papua New Guinea. We are members of Ethnos360 and currently live near our mission headquarters in Central Florida. I began my journey as an Educational Therapist in Papua New Guinea in 2009 out of a need to work with my own daughter. There is dyslexia on my side of the family through my Dad and also on my husband's side of the family. I believe this has given me valuable insight and appreciation for those whose brains are wired "differently." I love doing educational therapy and am excited about what it can do for children with learning difficulties. I have two adult children and 4 precious grandchildren. I enjoy gardening, backyard chickens, and living in a warm climate. I also have a dog and two cats.
