Author Bio

Greetings! My journey through life has been shaped by overcoming personal challenges, including a silent stroke that led to Aphasia—a speech impairment that makes communication difficult at times. While my cognition remains intact, I sometimes struggle with memory. This experience inspired me to write Don’t Let the Fear of Striking Out Hold You Back, a book about facing and overcoming adversity. 

I am also the Co-Founder of Aphasia Associates, a support group that helps individuals affected by stroke-related speech issues find ways to improve communication, despite my own challenges.

I am an avid lover of travel, nature, and storytelling, and I find deep peace in witnessing the beauty of God’s creations.
