Summary

I am a very strong, knowledgeable, and motivated person. My passion is to help others but also learn from them at the same time. I like taking my experiences in life and also what I have learned along the way, and just experience a life that God has blessed me with. My desire is to work in a ministry where I can walk alongside others and also share the love of Christ and how he has worked in my life. I love to learn new things and I pick up on skills fairly quickly.
