She earned a degree in Drama/Speech Education from Evangel University and a Master of Arts in Theatre at Missouri State University. During her graduate studies she taught drama at the university level and founded a photography studio in Springfield, Missouri. In 2006, Rebecca found a way to incorporate her love for Jesus and the arts. Rebecca uses creative writing, drama, art and dance to facilitate counseling and discipleship with young women and girls.
