I am currently living in Prescott, Arizona as a full-time early childhood education specialist at the Del E. Webb Family Enrichment Center. I teach infants through preschool, and I absolutely love it. My position at the center is flexible, and I am fortunate enough to be able to utilize my passions and skills at the center such as photography and woodworking. I am going to miss the center, the staff, and the children while I participate in the World Race, but I know that God has place for me and he has made that very clear in the time leading up to training camp.

I am currently a YoungLife leader at Prescott High School, and I have had the opportunity to get to know high school students, and walk alongside them as they navigate through life, in the way that Jesus walks alongside us. YoungLife is an evangelical ministry that provides a platform to meet, get to know, and often times- even develop lifelong friendships with high school students once they move on to the next stages of life. I am thankful that the boys that I am closest with will not be graduating this year, and that I will get to return from the World Race and get to continue my relationships with them. Because of this ministry, I have helped start the men’s volleyball program and became a volleyball coach at the high school to get to know kids and begin relationships with them. I have been involved in YoungLife over the past 8 years, and it is something that I am really passionate about!

There are many other aspects of my life that I hope that you can see through my blog. Please subscribe for updates and consider taking this opportunity to join my support team on this incredible journey!
