Favorite Vacation Destination: Jamaica was pretty cool, but I would loooove to go to the Bahamas!

All-Time Favorite Movies: I don't really have a favorite, but I like romantic comedies, action, and super hero
movies.

Best Advice I Could Give a 20-yr Old: Don't marry unequally yolked.

I'd Love to Have a Conversation With: God... face to face.... in an eternal embrace!

When you became a Christ Follower: I was raised Catholic, but finally met Jesus when I was 16. I strayed
but found my way back and feel more peace and joy than ever before! I still have a long way to go, but I
know I am finally on the right track.

Spiritual Gifts: Evangelism, Prophecy, and Administration. To find yours go here and take the test! It was
definitely a turning point in my life to find out what mine were. You get a better glimpse of who you are...
who God made you to be.

Passion For Ministry: My passion lies with the teens. I was a troubled teen myself, and when I got saved is
when I knew I wanted to help teens find that Salvation and end to pain. As I have matured in my faith and
walk, it grows even stronger to help teens find and stay on the path of Jesus. The path of joy, peace, and
eternity...
