Hometown - Butte, Montana

Growing up in the Christian faith I developed a knowledge-based understanding of the gospel, but it didn’t penetrate my heart until my sophomore year of high school. Feeling a lack of control and hope for the future I realized my identity was dependent on what others thought of me. My perfectionism had built an image I couldn’t hold onto anymore. That was when God truly transformed my heart to see that it was Him who I needed. Despite my imperfections Christ was perfect, so I didn’t have to be. Coming to college I had a desire to pursue God, but I became easily distracted by friends, relationships, and academics, which lead me to fall back into old habits of false self-identity. Fortunately, through involvement in a strong church community and consistent Christian discipleship with Campus Outreach, God grew my heart to not only see the value of the gospel for myself but to gain a deep desire to share it with others, truly putting Him above everything else. Walking through college with Campus Outreach helping to change and sharpen my mind-set and mission, God has given me a desire to put aside my career and pursue college ministry full time. I’m so excited to help launch the expansion of Campus Outreach to Orlando, Florida.
