Meet the Ignite Team

  • June

    Chief Operating Officer

    Founded Ignite in 2010

    June’s passion is to mentor people by being an example in daily living, through encouragement and teaching, and regardless of age. She loves seeing leaders rise up who know that God has a plan and purpose for their life and dare to walk it out boldly. Leaders who are challenged to raise the standard around them and live a life of destiny. One of the greatest gifts she has experienced after helping a person realize who God created them to be; was watching as they walked out that truth in their life- incredible.

    For relaxation and fun she loves to spend time outdoors, writing, and enjoy all types of creative and “artsy” outlets.

  • Amanda

    Executive Director

    Co-founded Ignite in 2010

    Amanda has a heart to propel people to where God is leading them – that’s her passion.  She’s learned to walk in God’s footsteps and His peace throughout the years after teaching in the schools, training coaches, and now working behind the scenes. She also believes that in speaking life to those you lead, it brings up leaders who are confident in what they do as the Bible teaches that “death and life are in the power of the tongue.”  God continues to leave her in awe of what He has in store for her.

    She enjoys traveling, painting, reading, and spending time outdoors.

  • Aimee

She loves seeing other people realize how much God loves them and how much He has for them and begin to live that out.

    In her spare time she loves to read, travel, spend time outdoors and experience different cultures.
