Summary
I am driven and passionate about leading people to walk closely with Jesus. One of the most exciting things for me is leading in worship. I also love to teach and help facilitate relationships within the body of believers. My administrative experience has equipped me to appreciate organization, team building, and the value of mutual respect. I truly believe that God wants us all to love Him, follow His commands, and love others well. I am ready to take my passion and skills to apply them wherever and however God would see fit.
