Wow there is so much I could tell you all! Here are a couple must knows!

I’m 24 and was born and raised in Louisville, OHIO! Oww oww the BIG OH and yes I am a HUGE Buckeyes fan as well as the Browns, Tribe and Cavs. . .please spare me the choke artist/ just plain old sucks lecture. . .I know already!
 

I lived for 22 years of my life on a horse farm along with my grandparents and aunt, uncle and cousins. No we did not all live in one house haha! I loved it I grew up with animals all over the place and if that doesn’t teach you what hard work and responsibility is I don’t know what will. My family is awesome! Even though we have been through some really rough patches I love them dearly and give them so much credit for shaping me into who I am.
 
 

The past 2 years I have lived and worked in Pennsylvania. I taught high school and middle school art at Monessen High School and saying goodbye to my kids was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Although my students are at-risk and come from a struggling environment I love them to death! They really have helped me grow as a teacher and a person.
 
 

I truly believe that God is so good and makes the most amazing things happen. He placed an incredible friend in my life who challenged me to dive deeper into my own faith. The Lord worked through this man in such ways that I was inspired to strengthen my relationship and grow even more in my faith. So I did. I dove in and let Him take over. It wasn’t until a random Sunday when I was invited to my best friend’s church when God broke me open and the Holy Spirit filled my heart. It was incredible. . .finally my faith wasn’t just based on what I would hear or say it was based on what I felt. That day He called me to missions. Now here I am!

I can’t wait for the race. . .to lay it all down and give it all up! To live for Him in Him. To further His kingdom, serve others and just love on people like crazy everywhere! Oww Oww!
