Hey All! Welcome to the place where you get to learn a little more about me. Whether you’ve known me forever or have never met me, here are 11 things that give you a glimpse of who I am and what I love.

  1. I am a small town Iowa girl.
  2. My family means the world to me- my parents and my two younger sisters. I love them so much. My family has taught me what true love, support and encouragement looks like. 
  3. I love music. All types too. One of my unique favorites is epic movie scores.
  4. Being outside in nature is one of my favorite ways to experience God. Mountains. Waterfalls. Sunsets. Thunderstorms. I love the beauty of His creation.
  5. To the general population, I am the quiet and reserved introvert. However, once I get comfortable and in smaller settings, I love to talk. I love meaningful conversations.
  6. I love coffee dates even though I do not like coffee.
  7. I have a weakness for sweets, Mountain Dew and the TV show Friends.
  8. I was born with the travel bug. I’ve made it to 49 of the 50 states + China and Haiti. Thanks Mom & Dad!
  9. I love making random memories. Worshiping acapella in an old barn. Racing live ducks in small town Nebraska. Skydiving over the fields of Illinois. Some things just stick with you.
  10. I am a planner. I have always had a plan: Go to Iowa State University. Graduate with an engineering degree. Get an engineering job. Live the American dream. But sometimes God has a different plan. For the first time, I don’t know what the plan is, but I am trusting that God’s plan is much better than anything I can imagine.
  11. I am the child of a gracious, compassionate, forgiving, forever-loving, powerful, awesome God. He loves me and chose me even though I get it wrong a lot of the time. It is a privilege to know Him and serve Him in all that I do.

I cannot wait to see what God has in store for this time in my life. It is exciting, scary and nerve-wracking all at the same time. But I am ready to jump in to His plan and His story and I would love for you to join me in this!
