Hey! Welcome to my World Race blog! For those of you who don’t already know me, I just want to share a little bit about who I am and what I’m about!
First of all, I’d just like to say that I love Jesus. Like I-couldn’t-live-my-life-without-you-love Jesus. And my relationship with him invades every part of who I am. I want him to be in everything that I am and all that I do because I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. He gives life and makes it so worth living.
So, what does my current life look like you ask? Well, I am from Charlotte, NC and have lived here pretty much all my life. I was raised in church and love the body of Christ. I graduated from Winthrop University in 2011 with my undergrad degree and in 2012 with my MAT. I’ve been teaching high school biology since then and love working with my high school kids! I also serve as a youth leader at my church, so I spend a lot of my time hanging out with people younger than me – mostly because I think they are worth investing in (and they’re pretty fun, too).
Fun facts about me? Here’s my list of top 10 favorites, in no particular order:
1. I am half-Indian. Nope, can’t speak Hindi. But I embody and embrace the Indian genes in me (5’0″ tall and “petite”).
2. I speak German. It’s a little rusty right now, but I do speak it fluently.
3. I love to travel, thanks to being Indian and still having family in India. I’ve been to a dozen countries or so multiple times – just ask me and I’ll tell you all about it.
4. I studied abroad in London and was a part of Hillsong Church. Best time of my life (so far).
5. I was a Girl Scout and proud of it! Sold them cookies by the thousands.
6. I love anything outdoorsy and am an avid adventurist – backpacking, rock-climbing, hiking, white-water rafting, kayaking, camping, skiing, s’more roastin’….
7. I love a good book. Especially Jane Austen.
8. I LOVE HOT TEA. Hate coffee. (refer to #1 and 4).
9. My top 2 strengths are learner and achiever (=overachiever).
10. I’m a sports girl. I play tennis and soccer and run. I’m no professional, but have loved playing both all my life and run mostly just to take care of myself. And I’m a huge fan of Andy Murray, Chelsea FC, the German National Team, and the Carolina Panthers (bless ’em).
I think that’s a good place to start. If you want to know more about me, just keep following! And ask me! I can’t wait to share this journey with you!
