I was born and raised in the state of Texas. I recently graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology (exercise science). I am currently working as the Associate Director of Women’s Small groups with Frontline. I am passionate about investing in people’s lives, discipleship, and mentoring in order to develop them into devoted Christ-followers. I can’t believe God has given me this opportunity to work with such an amazing team and do exactly what He has designed me to do! I specifically work with our small group leaders and link point people as a coach and source of support. I also work with the connection process of plugging Frontline women into small groups.

I worked with the Future Leaders Program to develop and expand on ways to grow and equip young adults who are passionate about ministry and have a heart for Jesus. I hope that through this program the body of Christ will be more solidly equipped with the armor of the Lord as we seek to impact secular DC. As a regular attendee of MBC since age 12, it was an honor to be able to serve in this church and grow as a believer. I graduated from George Mason University with a BA in Psychology.

As a Future Leader, I worked with Global Impact, and, more specifically, Intencity. Intencity is a program that seeks to send teams into the city for three to five days in order to partner with existing ministries that deal with poverty and injustice issues. Through these trips we hope to share the love of Christ and the hope of the gospel by ministering to physical and spiritual needs. I am passionate about facilitating growth and maturity through service. In 2005, I graduated from Salve Regina University with a triple major in Elementary Education, Special Education, and French.

Last summer I graduated from Northwestern University where I majored in Radio/Television/Film. After a year of traveling, I landed here in the DC area. Getting here was quite an adventure. I drove all the way from LA. I visited Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, and the Badlands just to name a few places, and the month before I visited Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Zion. We live in a beautiful country. I felt God’s presence, and I came ready to serve Him. As a Future Leader I worked with the Men’s Ministry. Currently, I am the Director of Student Ministries at the Prince William Campus.
