Every role and opportunity in my career has been a melody in a larger design, preparing me for the song God was writing all along.
It all began in the heart of Atlanta, GA at a small project management firm, PMLG, where I started my professional journey.
At CARE USA, I learned the fundamentals, leading an orchestra of tasks to completion while writing harmonious songs of organization and efficiency.
In 2005, while visiting Duke University for work, I slipped into the chapel on campus during some downtime. What happened there is still difficult to explain. I had been a Christian all my life, but alone in that chapel, I met Jesus.
A seed was planted that day, and only now do I see how God’s hand has been leading me, step by step, to the place I’ve arrived today.
Pino Napoli Tile & Granite, a duet written with my husband, held verses of our shared triumphs and trials. Pino’s song faded into the wind, but it was a happy failure. It taught me that people matter more than business, and that God can use even a closing door to point the way forward.
The road has led me to incredible places like SuccessFactors and ADP, each role a verse in the song of my professional life. Along the way, I began to hear a deeper melody beneath the work, one that measures success by love and service. Looking back, I can see God tuning my heart, one verse at a time.
Today, that deeper melody is the one I most want to follow. The treasures of this world no longer hold me the way they once did. Now I want to serve God in all I do, regardless of where it leads, and use every gift He has given me to love my neighbor. My focus is on healing, for myself and for others, as I build a ministry to share His love. Because, in the end, all you need is love.
