Her commitment to human rights has seen her involved with several non-profit organizations, and ultimately led her to found Christian Advocacy Now, a ministry devoted to helping the local church become informed, active, and prayerful around issues of human rights abuses and religious persecution. The opportunity to lean into the efforts of Shelter Academy of Light in bringing high-quality education and opportunities to children in Bubutu, Uganda, is a perfect combining of her deeply held values of learning, of the protection of human rights, and most important, of sharing the light and love of Christ through word and deed.
