A Little About Me.
September 5, 1990: I was born and raised in a Western Suburb of Chicago, Lombard. I grew up with two sisters, Jana and Jackie, my mom, Debbie, and step-father, Dale. Although far away, I love visiting and seeing my dad, Harry, and step-mom, Doreen a few times a year. I also have two beautiful nieces, Leah, 5, and Julia, 2.
1995-2013: After attending TCHS for elementary and secondary school, I went to a small college by the name of Hope College. I was in Holland, MI for four and a half years and graduated with my B.A. in Elementary Education with a focus in Language Arts.
2009-2014: While in Holland, MI I was able to serve at my fellowship for almost 4 years. I was able to help with both Youth and Children. This Fellowship became my home where I found a community of friends and supporters to walk with me on this journey called life.
January 2014-May 2014: After graduating in December of 2013, I felt Dad asking me to do a 6 month Training Program in Denver, CO. During this experience I was able to learn about the Fathers love for me, obtain more of a vision on His calling over my life, and surround myself with a great cloud of witnesses. After three months of training in Denver, I headed down to Colombia, South America for 7 weeks. There Dad humbled me, showed me His Love for His children, and instilled a sense of adventure for advancing the kingdom.
September 2014- Present: There Pops made it quite clear where He is calling for the next leg in my life's journey. Although I would have never thought I would move to Asia, Dad has clearly called me there in many different ways. After thinking about these Words of confirmation, I can confidently say that this a door has been opened to me. Throughout the past few weeks, Dad continually shows me that He has his hand in this process. I am excited to be able to use my teaching degree, my schooling, and my love for His children.
