About My Family
I was born in Charlotte, N.C., on July 9, 2001, but grew up in Rock Hill, S.C. I grew up in a nominally Christian household with both parents and an older brother (3 years older). After a living a life characterized by performance, on July 2018 while attending a YoungLife Summer Camp, I professed faith in Jesus Christ.
I attended college at the University of Virginia where I studied biology, attended Center Church and led YoungLife. While serving in YoungLife, I worked in a part-time staff position and program known as NextGen. While attending Center Church, I served as the worship intern for a year and will now be working on staff as the worship/production and students resident.

About My Church Plant
As worship/production, I will be working closely with our band, production and visual arts teams to lead our church in corporate worship in many different environments. I will also be learning theological, practical, leadership and pastoral skills for worship leadership. While working under pastoral leadership at the church, I will seek to facilitate a corporate worship experience that allows for a meaningful encounter with Jesus Christ.
As a students resident, I will be learning to lead people and develop a healthy culture on volunteer teams and grow in administration, communication, team work and people leadership while working with Center students (middle and high-school students). I will seek to work under pastoral leadership and alongside parents to teach and disciple students.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
