Like you, I was not born knowing how to do justice. I was mostly oblivious to the need for justice at all. In high school, I was part of a Sunday school class where we read Isaiah 58 and it opened my eyes to the call of God’s people to do justice.

Through living, studying, and working on four continents, I’ve learned how injustices work in different forms and what approaches work in confronting injustice.

Time studying in Guatemala and an internship at the International Justice Mission were formative in re-shaping my imagination that it doesn’t have to be this way – looking behind the curtain at how injustice works and seeing real people doing real justice.

Since then, I have worked for 25 years at local, state, and international levels on a range of justice issues from education reform and gender equality to human trafficking and spiritual abuse. I have also studied Scripture with this lens for the past two decades. I have lived and worked on four continents and hold a master’s degree in social policy and development from the London School of Economics.

I know people want to confront injustice and my work is fueled by my grief that they haven’t been equipped for the work God is calling them to do. I have also personally experienced deep pain and spiritual trauma at the hands of church leaders who were under-resourced for the work of justice. I walked out of one particular meeting with a regional leader realizing we needed to be proactively equipping Christians for this work. They weren’t learning it on their own and the results were devastating.

Since 2016, I have been leading group workshops, developing materials, writing books and articles, and coaching Christians on justice topics. Groups have included women’s small groups, high school Sunday school, online workshops, and individual mentoring with participants in and from many different countries including Brazil, England, France, Ghana, Israel, Morocco, Switzerland, and the United States.
