Hello there!
The question everyone asked me as my college graduation approached was, “What will you do next?” After lots of prayer, I made my decision and I’m excited to share with you what my next step is. However, before I do that, I want to give you some back story to how I got to where I am now. My sophomore year of high school, I went on a mission’s trip to the Dominican Republic with my church's youth group. From that moment onward, I was ready to go overseas in the blink of an eye but the doors seemed to keep closing. Fast forward with me to a month before I started my freshman year at CSUB. My college pastor asked me to do an internship connecting our college group with international students at my university. “International students?” I thought.
Up until then, it hadn’t occurred to me that God was bringing the nations right to my doorstep. I immediately jumped on the opportunity and although our college group got so small that it dissolved a few months later, my passion for international students burst into flame. Who would have thought that I had this passion? I sure didn’t but God had a plan the whole time and it’s been beautiful to see it unfold. I was introduced to Campus Crusade’s international student ministry called Bridges International and through it, I had the most incredible experiences. My college career consisted of building relationships with people from all over the world and doing things such as co-leading bible studies where I got the joy of sharing with students that there was a God who loved them so much that he came to die for them so that they could be forgiven.
Upon graduation, I interned with Bridges for a year at Arizona State University where there are more than 13,000 international students from 136 different countries!! After an amazing year of experiencing God drawing my friends to himself, I joined staff at Arizona State University and in 2018, took on the role as a team leader there. Thank you for your support in making this possible! I love how the body of Christ works together to accomplish God's will in the earth, that all may know him, the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent (John 17:3). Heaven is filled with people from every tribe and tongue and maybe some of them just haven't met Jesus yet.
