Summary
I am currently a Freshman at Moody Bible Institute studying human services hoping to be in the counseling program. I graduated from Norwalk High School in 2023 and attended all four years of high school. I love the Lord and I am trying to glorify God in everything I do in my life, I feel God leading me into ministry so I have chosen to follow him and continue learning at Moody. I have had a lot of work with youth ministry in the past as a volunteer, and also as an intern at Valley Church middle school ministry. I am very experienced with kids and leading because I have led a small group for three years watching them grow slowly and desire the Lord. I know that whatever God's plan is he will lead me to where he wants me for the rest of my life and I will serve him faithfully. I aspire in the future to be a full-time Christian counselor guiding and helping people with their faith and just their walk in life. I have seen many people in the past have no one to go to and feel alone, and I hope to be able be that person they can go to.
1 Samuel 12:24
Only Fear The Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart, For consider what great things he has done for you.
