I’m a kiwi kid raised on Weet-Bix, rugby, and Peter Jackson films who found Christ at a young age and never let go. Never feeling entirely “at home” in New Zealand I often thought about where I should live and if I’d ever find what was missing. After graduating from college with a degree in Film and Television I decided to spend a “gap” year in the USA before jumping into a master’s program I’d been accepted to in Australia.

During that year, my life’s trajectory completely changed when I met and married my wonderful American husband and found that missing sense of “home” in the USA. Together, we’ve moved back and forth between the USA and New Zealand and had babies in both. We’ve survived tremendous financial hardship and have wrestled with the heartbreak and strain of raising multiple children with special needs.
