About My Family
I am originally from Muskogee, Okla., and graduated from Oklahoma State University (OSU) in May 2024. I was saved when I was 7, but it wasn’t until my high-school years that I truly pursued the Lord. I knew my faith was my own in college. Through the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) at OSU, I got to see what it looked like to walk through life with Jesus daily and the sweetness and importance of biblical community.
In January 2024, I prayed that God would place me where I would glorify Him the most upon completing my summer internship in Australia. I thought it would continue to be in Stillwater as a graduate student, but God works on His own time! I started my first full-time job and moved back home in August before God called me to return to Stillwater, but as a campus missionary instead of a grad student. To Him be the glory!

About My Ministry
The BCM at OSU hosts multiple weekly meetings that include large-group worship, discipleship, Bible studies, events, and hangouts, allowing nearly 400 college students to hear and share the gospel. We also have a leadership team of 140 students who make up nine groups who provide even more opportunities for the gospel to be shared on campus and beyond.
My specific role will be to oversee the women’s and freshmen ministries. I get the privilege to coordinate discipleship relationships among all of the women in the BCM and find women in the Stillwater community to invest in the upperclassmen. I am also pumped to bring the energy to Connect, our freshmen Bible study that occurs every Tuesday night, where these students get to share the struggles and joys of adjusting to life in college.
