About Me
Growing up on a ranch in the Texas Panhandle, I never dreamed I would be where I am today but God gave me a sense of adventure and here we are! I love working with people, helping them grow, and seeing the incredible difference we can make together. People are my passion! I love to have fun and have been told that I have a gift for connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds.
My call to ministry came unexpectedly. I believe that call, in its simplest form, is to be an agent of Christ’s love in the world. Ministry happens in everyday instances, through every interaction we have. Though I understand myself and my call in Christian terms, I believe that call is not only to act in Christian sectors, but in all sectors to act as Christ commands, with love, joy, and hope for all people.
My Ministry Projects
I have a passion for supporting the emotional, social, and personal growth of young individuals. My personal philosophy centralizes upon a desire to help others find their fullest potential in all aspects of their lives and to have fun doing so. I have comprehensive experience leading, teaching, and planning various group activities, such as group recreation activities, fun group outings, life skills courses, and any type of volunteer work, including outreach, homeless ministry, disaster relief, and special needs ministry. I have an uncanny ability to establish rapport and build relationships with students and their families and am passionate about hearing their stories and growing together.
God has given me a heart for the nations. I love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I believe that we are always on mission, no matter the location, and God calls us to live as Christ in the world so the world may come to know His deep love and mercy. Our lives should radiate Christ to all those we encounter. I have extensive experience in cross-cultural and local ministries, from teaching and training disciples in remote Southern Africa to disaster-relief projects in the United States and constructing homes in Guatemala. I am well-versed in leading teams and absolutely love the opportunity to come alongside others as they experience and participate in God's work in the world.
I've always loved a challenge. Its thrilling to evaluate situations and seek an innovative solution. Pretty much the only thing I love more is having the opportunity to help others overcome the challenge. There's just something about working with people and helping them come to a place where they can see that the help others offer is an invaluable asset. Team building doesn't have to be a frustrating, mind-numbing process, it should be an absolute blast! Not only do I have experience, its something I love doing. Working alone is fine but coming alongside others, helping build quality relationships, establishing camaraderie, and fostering collaboration is what I live for. We are so much better together.
