HIKING/CAMPING/SERVING OTHERS
Hiking and Camping are what I consider my hobbies. These hobbies allow me to reconnect with mother nature and her bounty. Family connection while practicing these hobbies bring much joy to my life. One more thing I would like to add is that spiritually, God has given me the gift for serving others; sick, poor, lost, young and old. I currently serve in the Student's Ministry at my church. As a kind and attentive listener, I am able to connect with people and build trust and a good rapport.
