heyooo!! If you don’t already know me, welcome welcome! So glad you found my little world here!πŸ’›πŸ’ I am a woman with a heart after God, His people & the radical life of sharing His love story with the world. Raised in Central California & currently reside in my hometown, Portland, Oregon. Though I miss the beach & warm weather, the captivating beauty of the Oregon Coast & easy accessible trails & waterfalls have stolen my heart. You can find me eating fruit, drinking an iced honey latte or at the gym most of the time!πŸ€ͺ I love love love laughing with friends, hanging out with my middle school youth kids & being around kids in general. Living in a single parent household for most of my life & growing up with lots of siblings from all different parents has taught me the value & importance of family as well as adopting others into our families. I was born into a Christian church-going family that started to drift from God very shortly & it wasn’t until I was 12 years old at a church summer camp that I chose to follow Him for the rest of my life! This led me into getting baptized when I was 17 & really chasing hard after God right after I graduated high school. Aside from serving with middle schoolers in the youth group setting as well as YoungLife, missions has been a catalyst in my faith journey. My life has been full of saying “yes” when I want to say “no”, learning how to adapt & find comfort in Jesus in places that are extremely uncomfortable & breaking out of this shell of the fear of man & stepping into courage, confidence & boldness in the Lord alone. I am scared, excited, impatient, anticipating, nervous, expectant, doubtful & grateful for the opportunity set before me to be the hands & feet of Jesus in such a broken world. “For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭47‬ 

PEACE!! ✌🏽 Thanks for your partnership in prayer over this crazy journey!
