I was born and raised in Orange County. I grew up in the church and can't remember a time I did not LOVE it. I graduated from Biola in 2014 with a Bachelors in Christian Ministries and am deeply, deeply passionate about youth ministry. My passion for students is for them to have “light bulb” moments, moments where they experience God in a real way that causes them to WANT a personalized faith. I am currently the Director of Student Ministries at Saddleback Church LA and LOVE it with all of my heart. I love design on the stage or in the room, love to dream up new games, love to speak, and love talking about life with a student over a Starbucks. The fact that my job is to experience life change in students is amazing, and I thank God every day for the opportunity to do so.

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:10
