In 2013, I went on my first mission trip and it changed my life forever. What I experienced challenged my heart in ways I didn't expect. When I returned to the States, I knew something inside me had shifted. Through many trials and setbacks, God was writing my story bigger than I could ever imagine. My journey has been far from easy, but my faith has never wavered. I truly believe every step, every tear, every victory and every valley has led me here - with a heart committed to serve, encourage, and love others as Christ has loved me. This is more than a mission-it's my life's calling. And I'm just getting started!

My story is one of redemption. Raised in a Christian home, faith was my foundation, but at the age of 20, I walked away from my values and upbringing. For many years, I pursued a worldly life trying to find happiness, enduring two failed marriages and deep emptiness. When I came to the end of myself, I found my Heavenly Father waiting with open arms. In 2007, I rededicated my life to Him and committed to attending church for 1 year. That was the best decision of my life! Today, I stand firm in my renewed faith as a Born-Again Christian with a newfound peace and purpose for life.

Today my life is built on Jesus Christ. Not raised in church, the journey began in pain, confusion, and deep emotional wounds caused by a traumatic childhood. For years, darkness felt like the only path, believing life was cruel. But in 2012, in a moment of desperation, a heartfelt cry reached God—and He answered. Through His Word, He revealed Himself, bringing healing, renewal, and transformation. Now, the greatest joy is worshiping Him and sharing His love, especially with three beautiful children: Josh, Bella, and Luke. Jesus rescued this life, and every moment is lived to glorify Him.
