About My Family
I am truly grateful for the call to ministry that God has given me to serve at Penn West’s California campus next year! Numerous experiences in my life have led me to pursue this path. My undergraduate experience in political science, through conferences and high academia, gave me a passion for the lost in universities. I then decided to pursue my master’s degree at Virginia Tech. This degree gave me the opportunity to learn the value of outreach and the need for the gospel in secular universities.
My time in ministry with the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at Virginia Tech helped me secure an internship at Penn State (New Life Campus Ministries), where I served from June 2025 to May 2026. It is the ministry at Penn State that led me to choose a position at Penn West! I am excited to see what God will do in the next year at Penn West!

About My Ministry
I have worked in various Bible studies and churches throughout my time in ministry. My love for teaching God’s Word began in high school, when my youth group gave me the opportunity to teach my peers. However, it was my time in college that truly solidified my desire to teach God’s Word to college students.
Throughout my time at Gardner-Webb and Virginia Tech, I deepened my knowledge of God’s Word and recognized the need for God’s truth and purpose in the lives of college students. My time at Penn State and Virginia Tech deepened my passion for working with college students through various mission trips, outreach events, and large-group Bible studies. My ministry goals are to increase love and knowledge of God’s Word, accountability in students’ lives, and students’ desire to see the gospel spread on campus.
