Summary
Passionate follower of Christ, who has been called to ministry over the past couple of years, seeking my degree in Christian Studies at Ouachita Baptist University. Looking for a job where I can lead and help reach people for the gospel. I was born in New Orleans and lived in the Houston area for the majority of my life; I have also lived in Cobham, England for three years, and blessed enough to have traveled to over twenty different countries, experiencing different cultures across the world. I also have a fiance, named Halli, and we are planning on getting married in December of 2024.
