Grace Ann brings a lifelong passion for seeing the good news of the gospel transforming people's lives in community. This passion led her to spend her early career years as an elementary educator at an inner city school. She received her B.A. in Elementary Education from Covenant College and her M.Ed. in English Language Learning from Western Governors University. When the Lord opened the door for her to work alongside her husband's financial company as an executive assistant, she learned that she loved working with adults to transform culture from the top-down.
