A certified life coach with a distinguished 35-year nursing career, specializing as a certified surgical first assistant, Sandy brings a wealth of clinical expertise and compassionate care to every aspect of her work. She is also the former CEO and founder of an international mission organization, where she led efforts to serve communities and inspire hope across borders.

Now a first-time author, she shares her deeply personal journey of faith and resilience in Strike A Match, a faith-based coaching devotional. Written in the wake of losing her husband to cancer, the book is a collection of 21 vital truths she found herself needing to remember during one of life’s most difficult seasons.

Each entry is drawn from years of personal journaling during her prayer time and includes a heartfelt reflection, a practical synopsis, and a powerful affirmation. Through these pages, she offers encouragement and guidance to others navigating grief, transition, and the many trials of life—believing that the truths that sustained her can also bring light and strength to others.
