About My Family
I grew up in Okinawa, Japan, from 2008–2020 as a Marine Corp military brat. In 2020, we moved to Richmond, Va., where I lived from 2020–2025. I studied my undergraduate degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. I graduated in May 2025 and started the M.Div program at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in August 2025.
I love going to the beach, cooking and traveling!

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
