She is currently working as the Homeowner/Hospitality Coordinator here at Blueprint Ministry. She states, “The best part of this job is making new friends with all our visiting campers and building relationships with our sweet homeowners.” 

Barbra earned a BS in Elementary Education from Texas State University in 1989 and a Master’s in Special Education from Grand Canyon University in 2010. She has three grown daughters, Cassandra, Hannah and Julia. She loves her animals which include 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 9 chickens!
