I bring a unique set of outreach and administrative skills to my leadership role at Groff and Associates.  Working with our team, clients, and community partners, I endeavor to ignite hope, promote healing, and elevate lives.  It is my privilege to participate in the ministry of Jesus: “to proclaim good news to the poor…to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” (Isaiah 61:1)

A Hoosier since 2015, I have lived in several other states and traveled to 19 countries. Family and friends around the world are my treasure.
