Dr. Hyatt was born in Jamaica W.I. and now resides in Chesterfield County Virginia. She is an adjunct professor at Liberty University and J Sargeant Reynolds Community College. She spent most of her career in the banking industry and is also a licensed insurance agent.

Dr. Hyatt grew up in church but from childhood to late adulthood, she struggled with a clear understanding of God and religion as a whole. This led to many shortcomings and disappointments. She was really scared of the perfectionism portrayed in Christianity and this made her feared God. God was seen as this giant waiting to strike her with a huge stick when she did something wrong. This went on for a long time until a Baptist minister explained to her how much she was loved by God. It was through this understanding of Jesus’s love that she surrendered her life to Christ. Dr. Hyatt has served as a Sunday School teacher for her adult Sunday School class and worked many years in the children’s ministry. She truly has a passion to serve the Lord.
