About My Family
I grew up in San Jose, Calif., and moved to Riverside once I graduated from California Baptist University (CBU) in 2019. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in intercultural studies, a business minor and a concentration in global justice, which I hope to use in overseas work one day.
As soon as I graduated, I started raising support for my position on Discipleship Staff in Spiritual Life at CBU. In 2020, I married Bryce, who is a mechanical engineer and my best friend. He is also my partner in ministry, listening constantly, praying with me and doing his best to remember the names of all my students.
My favorite things to do on a day off are going to the beach, getting coffee with friends, exploring nature and eating good food. The things that bring me the most joy are deep friendships and seeing people fall more in love with Jesus.

About My Ministry
I work within the Spiritual Life office at CBU on the Discipleship Ministry team. Our vision for making disciples on campus is divided into four stages of development as a Christian. We help students explore faith, establish a relationship with God, expand their beliefs and train them to engage other students with the gospel.
CBU has more than 11,000 students enrolled in undergraduate admissions, and our team works hard to share the gospel with hundreds of students every year since a surprising majority of the student body does not claim Christian faith. I balance my time between evangelism with non-believers, establishing new believers and training mature believers to make disciples. Our goal is to equip students to pass on what they learn to make disciples on campus (see 2 Timothy 2:2).
