What does the Lord require? It is this, to do what is right, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Past jobs and/or current hobbies unrelated to your profession

I currently lead a grassroots community outreach non-profit ministry- Women of Witness International which I founded in 1998. Our desire is to be the extended hand of God here on Earth through faithful acts of kindness, thereby leading people to the light and love of Jesus. I also enjoy traveling and reading. I have a great appreciation for art, music, and theater.
