Hello!

My name is Mariah Paden and I currently reside in Seattle, Washington. I recently (within the last 12 months) moved to Seattle from SE Minnesota!

I am super passionate about communication, and with that- people! I love being able to meet up with individuals to talk about how they are doing and what challenges or victories they are facing! I also enjoy being in groups of people and being able to serve them! If I can do both within the same time frame, I’m an over-joyed individual! πŸ™‚

My philosophy is that laughter is the worlds best medicine- ergo, I do it more often than not! πŸ™‚ My laugh is super contagious, which means that I get to make others laugh with me and that’s an added bonus! Typically one of my favorite things to do, besides hanging out with people, is watching Disney movies- still a huge fan! πŸ™‚

I currently have a job working as an admin in a electrical warehouse and I love being able to talk with all of the customers that come in! πŸ™‚ As an extroverted individual, I love being able to interact with all the different people! After hours I volunteer with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ), and help out when / where they need me.

This is why I am super excited to be going on the World Race! To be able to love on new people, cultures, and see how God uses them for His glory! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚
