My Story:
I grew up in a Christian home and my parents presented the gospel to me at a young age. I believe I really began to walk with God in the 7th grade. I remember going to a youth retreat and hearing them talk about having a personal relationship with Jesus. I know I had heard this before, but this was the first time I really heard and understood it. I knew I was sinful and needy of a Savior to rescue me from my sin, but it wasn’t until this time that I really surrendered my life to Jesus and made Him Lord of my life. From that point on I remember sharing my faith with my friends. The Lord was teaching me so much and I wanted to share what I was learning with those around me. I continued to stay really involved with my youth group all through High School and received a great foundation before going into college.

My hobbies:
I love to travel!!! If you have a house you’d like me to visit just let me know I’ll be there! One of my favorite things to do is go to coffee shops. I also love to go on walks at Furman and bake chocolate chip cookies!! I really enjoy reading counseling books-Larry Crabb and Dan Allender are two of my favorite authors.

My favorites:
Starbucks, the mountains, Alabama Football, TV show Bones and 24, the fall season, the Leadership Project, musicals, foreign countries, chocolate anything, our beach house in Orange Beach, AL, Furrman, Portland, OR
