I am 24 years old. I have an older brother married to a fabulous sister-in-law, a younger brother, and a younger sister. And I have the best parents I could ask for!

I am a float nurse at a hospital in my hometown; being a float nurse is awesome! I go to nearly every floor in the hospital and get to meet all sorts of people. I also speak Spanish and work for our local community center to translate at appointments for Spanish-speaking community members.

One of my favorite things is hanging out with the junior high students at my church. I have been involved in the junior high ministry since I was in high school and it is very near and dear to my heart.

I go with my church to Chiapas, Mexico every couple of years on medical trips to serve the local indigenous population. These experiences have challenged me in how I use the gifts God has given me.

Facts about me:

I love ministering to junior high students.

I love spoiling my coworkers with chocolate.

I am very much an introvert. To the point that I got an extra year of preschool because I wouldn’t talk. But no worries, I’ve overcome my shyness and have learned how to be an extroverted introvert!

Cupcakes and chocolate are my favorites. And Nutella.

I hate the cold.

I love to paint, color in coloring books, and do craft projects.

I sleep in a hammock. Best decision I’ve ever made.

I love traveling and learning about other cultures and people.

I do not like driving and I am very directionally challenged.

I am super excited about the World Race!
