Understanding her call to teach she pursued that call as and instructor at the Scripture Cathedral Child Development Center since its inception.

Elegant and graceful, full of God's wisdom, faith, compassion, and word, she is anointed and called of God to serve the ministry with tenacity to the end, never failing to do the smallest job so that the body of Christ is edified and glorified. Strong is she that labors for the Lord without complaint through each transition of life as she walks this Christian journey unwavered by Satan's numerous attempts to discredit her call.
