I am from Kansas City, Missouri, GO CHIEFS! I studied at Liberty University with my bachelor’s in Biblical and Theological Studies. I love baking bread, hammocking, and long walks on the beach. I started pursuing Christ at the age of fifteen at Abundant Life in Lee’s Summit. I have a huge passion for kiddos and bringing the Bible to life for them.
