First, and foremost, I am a daughter of the King and love Jesus! I am passionate about camping and youth ministry, and am especially drawn to the middle school age group. I have served as part of the Yellowstone Alliance Adventures staff team for several summers, which has truly helped me grow in my faith & confidence. I am blessed to serve as an intern at BAC, leading the Pier 56 Ministry for 5th & 6th grade students, while pursing NextGen Ministries at Crown College online.
