A faith-rooted mentor, advisor, and founder of The Ruby Project, I bring decades of leadership experience, wisdom, and real-life perspective to the work I do today. After a successful career as a Global Technical Portfolio Manager with leadership experience in life sciences and manufacturing, along with 18+ years serving alongside my husband as his life partner and helpmate in ministry, I now focus on offering thoughtful guidance and resources from a quieter season of life. I still deeply value Bible study and the life of the local church. My husband is an excellent leader, teacher, Senior Pastor, husband, father, grandfather, and my best friend, and he continues to faithfully serve as the Lead Pastor of Good Shepherd Community Church in Tracy. Together we are grateful parents of six sons, their amazing wives, and the beloved daughters God has graciously added to our family. We are also blessed with eleven grandchildren. We share a love for faithfully stewarding all God has entrusted to us—from family and ministry to our sweet senior Maltipoo, caring for rescue cats, and staying connected to our community. Nearly two decades of serving in the church the Lord entrusted to my husband’s leadership has drawn us even closer together. We believe life is ministry, and ministry is life. The Ruby Project is not simply a passion project—it is a way of life. It is the overflow of my testimony and a reflection of how God can redeem what was meant for harm and use it for His glory. My passion is creating supportive spaces where women can begin rebuilding after trauma, heartbreak, and life’s hardest seasons. Through The Ruby Project, I help build biblically grounded tools, practical encouragement, and reflective resources designed to help women move forward with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose. I am also highly creative and have always loved the creative arts, which became a natural launching pad within The Ruby Project. I found meaningful healing through my own trauma and pain by engaging in art, dance, and even singing off key. Those experiences continue to shape the compassionate and creative resources I offer today. While I’m no longer active in day-to-day professional or ministry leadership, the experience gained through those years continues to shape the wisdom and care I bring to others now. In this season, I enjoy seeing the fruit of years poured into ministry, beginning the day with my Bible, tending the garden, cherishing family, and embracing a quieter, slower pace of life. You can often find me with a good book, reflection prompts, and a warm little cup of tea.
