Hobbies/Interests: I love sunrises, Les Mis, sunsets, Hamilton, stars, Wicked (the musical, haha), warm summer evenings, Sound of Music, etc. Why I joined IV/what I'm excited for: I am super excited to serve with IVTCF new student outreach this coming year! God has been calling me to take this leap of faith with Him and to get involved with the great work He has started and will continue at SC. He has shown me truly how sweet it is to walk daily with Jesus and is opening my eyes to the plentiful harvest around me. My prayer is that we would be one as a body of Christ, grounded in His Word and in prayer, and that He would lead us to follow His example in loving and caring for our campus!
