Akron / Fairgrove Schools

My faith in Jesus is the foundation of my life and the source of my passion for serving students, building authentic relationships, and helping the next generation discover their identity and purpose in Christ. Jesus has shaped every part of my life and continues to lead me daily. Through every season, God has shown me His faithfulness, grace, and purpose. I have found that true purpose and fulfillment come through fully surrendering to Him, faithfully following His calling, and trusting His direction. Because of the impact Jesus has had on my life, I am passionate about helping others grow in their faith, discover their purpose, and develop their God-given gifts.

As the Campus Life Director in Caro and Akron-Fairgrove, I have the privilege of investing in students during some of the most pivotal years of their lives. Through clubs, mentoring, school visits, trips, and shared experiences, I build meaningful relationships and create spaces where students feel seen, valued, and supported. Having grown up in this community myself, my desire is to provide the kind of opportunities and mentorship I wish I had as a teenager. I believe authentic relationships are one of the most powerful ways to impact the next generation and help students find identity, belonging, and hope in Christ.

Outside of ministry, I enjoy staying active, working on creative projects, trying new things, and spending time with family, friends, and in nature. I also enjoy teaching, leading, and helping others grow in their faith and leadership. My goal is to make an impact on the lives of the people I encounter, reflect Jesus to others, and help them experience the life-changing hope found in Him.
