“We are who we are, regardless of whom we think we are.” These profound words from beloved Morya El changed my life 24 years ago when I discovered the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. From that moment, my journey unfolded in ways I could never have imagined, leading me to a life of faith, service, and profound spiritual growth.

My story began with a leap of faith—my parents’ decision to immigrate to the United States. As a young person in a new country, I faced a world of unfamiliar challenges but also the beginnings of a spiritual path that would guide me one step at a time. I earned a degree in Comparative Literature and Linguistics from New York University and spent many years in Corporate America as an Executive Assistant, applying the principles of service and dedication I had learned on my spiritual journey.

In 2015, I answered a higher calling and began the Ministerial Program at Summit University while pursuing a Master’s Degree in Human Resources Development and Management at NYU. After seven years of dedication, I was honored to graduate as a Minister from the Church Universal and Triumphant. In 2018, I completed my Master’s Degree, equipping me further to serve both spiritually and professionally.

Today, my life is devoted to serving God, the Ascended Masters, and my brothers and sisters. I am driven by deep gratitude for the wisdom and guidance that have illuminated my path. Through the Teachings of the Ascended Masters, I have seen how connecting with the infinite mind of Christ opens up new worlds of possibility. As a Minister, it is my greatest joy and sacred duty to share these teachings and offer hope, inspiration, and spiritual guidance to all who seek them.

May God’s light protect and bless us all.
