Hey! I’m Keri and I’m 24 years old. I was born in Virginia, and, after moving more than 20 times, finally ended up here in California (and no, I’m not part of a military family, my mom just liked to move a lot! ๐Ÿ˜› ). I am an only child and was raised by my mother. God is the only Father I have ever known and I love Him so much! I love spending time with Him, especially through praise and worship and just hanging out with Him in His creation.

 
Right now I’m studying photography through a correspondence with the New York Institute of Photography, which I’m hoping to finish this year. I have a passion for photography and to use it for God’s glory. I never thought I would go to an actual collage until a couple years ago. lol Out of nowhere, God put the desire to study in my heart. I believe He’s pointing me towards languages, child development, and media to be used in missions. I took a few gen-ed. classes last year, and now have a grand total of 9 credits. My plan is to finish after the World Race, but we’ll see where God leads!!
