About My Family
I grew up a small town girl in Plant City, Fla., but have called New York City home for the past 10 years. In middle school, I knew God called me to spend my life serving Him as a missionary. In the years since, I have served in various student ministries in the church and in para-church organizations.
I’m now beginning a new role with One Community Church (OCC), walking with people, specifically young women, as they discover what taking the next step toward Jesus looks like.
I grew up with parents who loved Jesus and other people well, and it sparked a passion in me to do the same. I want my life to be a reflection of Jesus every day. I love talking to people about faith, why the gospel is relevant to them, and what it looks like to walk with Jesus!

About My Church Plant
Hell’s Kitchen has a long history of being a challenging neighborhood. In some sense, the name Hell’s Kitchen says it all. It has been a place that is both notorious and generative in terms of the culture it has produced. Although many see the neighborhood as a location, not a home, and as a place to commute to versus a place to commit to, OCC seeks to challenge and change this reality by modeling an incarnational presence. We are staying for the long haul, embracing this place as our home and being missionaries who are found in the fabric of the community.
I will personally be stepping into a discipleship and connection role with OCC, helping people discover what it looks like to take a step closer to Jesus!

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.
