My Story:
I grew up in a Christian home, and was always interested in spiritual things. But being a Christian to me was all about me. Throughout high school, I lived a me -centered life, expecting God to give me what I wanted-my life revolved around myself. In college, God called me to Himself andmy life was turned upside down! Getting involved with Campus Outreach gave me the tools to walk with God daily, and for the first time, my life was not about me anymore, but about Jesus!! Today I am a completely different person than I was just 4 years ago.

My hobbies:
reading, being outside, going out to eat, hanging out with my sisters, exercising, reading magazines, listening to sermons, painting my nails

My favorites:
color: green
food: cereal
season: fall
TV shows: Full House, The Office
Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 5:17
I love holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. I’m from a small town in North Carolina that you’ve probably never heard of, but its about an hour from everything. I like shopping, hanging out with my family, listening to live music, and wish I played a musical instrument.

What you probably didn’t know about me:
I was a cheerleader at Furman for 2 years, I was extremely shy as a kid, and I’m the oldest in my family and the oldest of all the grandchildren.
