About

I am a driven leader who cares about people and wants to see them succeed. My passion is God and reaching people with the gospel. My other passion is seeing people in a healthy spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical state. I am also a former therapeutic mentor that was committed to providing services to strengthen home, school, and community partnerships. I am an aspiring professional counselor. I intend to get a dual master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Educational Specialty from James Madison University. I'm a compassionate church youth leader building purposeful relationships to inspire personal confidence and spirit-driven growth. Finally, I am a passionate and talented drummer who has been playing in worship team since the age of 10.
