  • “The heart of a man plans his ways, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 
  • In His abounding love, God meets us wherever we are, but in the same love we hear Him say: “Don’t stay there, follow Me.” 
  • How are you going to let God establish your steps?
    • That is where my journey of following God's call for me began - Central Ohio Cru Fall Retreat on October 20, 2018. God planted in my heart that day to consider serving in ministry full-time as I responded to the prompt above. Following have been countless confirmations this is where I'm meant to be.

While involved in Cru as a student, the ministry radically impacted my walk with the Lord and gave me a vision to live my life purposefully. I never expected to go into full-time ministry, yet God had other plans for me. 

Over the recent years, I have brought the gospel to various corners of the world - from Ohio to Orlando, Alaska to Puerto Rico, the west coast to the east coast, South Asia to Latin America, the Middle East to Minnesota, and more. 

My passion is to cultivate community where the Gospel captivates hearts, transforms lives, & launches multiplying disciples no matter their location or vocation. My purpose is to equip the next generation by { modeling + mentoring }  a life reflecting Jesus. 

There's nothing else I would want to dedicate the best hours of my life to as His grace is made known for all for His glory.​   :) 


I currently serve on the Twin Cities Metro campus team to reach the nearby college campuses and am seeking partnership that would help me to be fully sent and sustained in campus ministry.​

I am blessed to be able to be part of a new endeavor called an Allied Circle within Cru. Our Allied Circle has the unique opportunity to journey together through accountability and mutuality as we raise our financial support. Together, with our collective communities, we are trusting God to provide as we step into the places He has called us to. We aim to be sent and sustained for more holistic flourishing. In all of my prayer letters, I include updates from the other women in their ministry as well.
