Program Manager
Clarice May Cregger’s journey began in Olongapo City, Philippines, but her impact now reaches far beyond its borders. A 4‑time Amazon Best‑Selling author, Clarice first stepped into the world of publishing in 2020 as a co‑author of Heart of God for Her: 45‑Day Devotional – Revealing God’s Love for His Leading Ladies. That experience opened the door for her to share her own powerful story in April 2021 with Broken But Beautifully Made: 4 Steps to Finding Beauty in Your Brokenness.
Her voice continued to grow as she co‑authored three more books—Give Me a Minute (2022) and Even as My Soul Prospers (2023)—each one offering hope, healing, and encouragement to readers seeking transformation, and her 2025 book, *But They Need Me*, redefines what it means to be a hero in your own life. Beyond writing, Clarice is a professional photographer and the owner of Claire May Photography & Designs LLC, where she captures stories of beauty, strength, and authenticity through her lens. She is also a Certified Transformational Life Coach, specializing in helping individuals break harmful patterns, release guilt and shame, and rediscover their God‑given identity.
