Summary
Worship leader with gifts in music and leadership, eager to use my talents to further the kingdom in whatever way God deems fit. I work well with a group and excel one-on-one. I love personal development, whether spiritual, Musical, or physical (I love playing sports and staying active). I cultivate a welcoming environment and look for ways to help people feel at home. I love being a vessel for God's plan, no matter what that means. If I have to suffer so someone else can be built up, praise God I was used in His plan. I want to be God's multipurpose tool.
