About My Family
I was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, and came to saving faith in my youth. Through the encouragement and discipleship of many, including my parents, youth pastor, and high school small group leaders, I grew and matured in my faith before heading off to college at Virginia Tech, where I majored in political science and served in college ministry leadership. I graduated in 2023 and began serving in ministry with Baptist Collegiate Ministries at Virginia Tech, where I served for the past three school years (summer 2023-spring 2026).
About My Ministry
I’m excited for the call and the opportunity to serve and minister to students at Penn State! I’m serving as the associate campus missionary with New Life, and our goal is to engage, disciple, and send Penn State students as we seek to bring the gospel to campus. At Penn State’s main campus, there are over 40,000 undergraduate students, many of whom do not know Jesus. Our goal is to disciple students to love the Lord and love others, and to go forth upon graduation to be a light for the Lord wherever they are.
As part of my ministry, I’ll be meeting with students for one-on-one discipleship, helping teach on large-group nights, coordinating on-campus outreach, encouraging student leaders, and more. I’m excited to see how God will be at work!
