As a teenager, I found myself ill and far from home. The night before I was taken for a medical exam, I stayed awake pondering a single question with all my heart: “What does it mean to be a Christian Scientist?” As dawn began to break, the answer came: “To follow the teachings and example of Christ Jesus,” including the commands to “heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons.” This answer brought an assurance of God’s love and healing presence, and a deep yearning to be a more dedicated follower of Christ. After the exam, I was instantly healed of diagnosed strep throat, without drugs or medicine. From that point on, I had a clearer sense of my identity and life purpose, and a conviction in God’s healing and saving power.

Living around the country and overseas inspired my love for languages, music, politics, and economics. Undergraduate and graduate degrees in international affairs, and wanting to find solutions to global challenges, led me to Washington, DC, to work for Congress. 

Ultimately, a desire to help others find healing through Christian Science inspired me to enter the public practice of Christian Science healing and later to become a Christian Science teacher. I've also served in various roles at The Mother Church, and contribute to the Christian Science magazines and podcasts. 

My husband and I live in Washington, DC, where I’m serving as Committee on Publication for the District of Columbia.
