Summary
My most tremendous honor is to teach and grow the next generation of world changers. I have always had a heart for children's ministry, and through working in Early Childhood, the Lord has revealed to me that my ministry is through a classroom. I absolutely adore Early Childhood and feel so purposeful when I can plant the beginning seeds of a child's identity in Christ.
