Deep care for living life to the fullest. Believes that everybody has a unique purpose and gift for the world. Experience in laboring jobs that required strong communication skills and teamwork, as well as working with children in summer camps and after-school care at St. Peter Lutheran School and Church. Seeks to help children and adolescents feel heard and understood by empowering them through support and open ears. Received life-altering therapy in 2023, which gave motivation to do the same for others. Loves learning other perspectives; such as going to Alaska for a semester in college and rafting down the Yukon River with strangers, traveling to South Africa on a mission trip where our team worked at a children's home and school, or simply by having deep and meaningful conversations with people. A student at Taylor University working towards a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in Counseling, supposed to graduate by 2027 before returning to obtain an evidence-based master's degree in Psychology.

• I've been playing guitar since 5th grade, and have since gotten into recording and learning all sorts of instruments.
• I love movies! Me and my brother like to rank movies and have deep discussions about why a film was good or bad.
• I love going out on the boat with my family in Indiana!
• My junior year of high-school I was suffering with anxiety and depression before I sought help at Compass, a PHP. The help I received here through group therapy and also working one on one with therapists changed my life! This is where I understood how important Psychologists, Social Workers, and all the other forms of mental assistance are.
• Went on a mission trip to South Africa where I had the opportunity to work at our tema sister school, and most memorably was able to work at a Children's home. The children's home was very similar to an orphanage as the kids who lived there each had their own story. This experience changed my life, and plan on returning throughout my life to help be a therapist for the children there, once qualified.
• Went to Anchorage Alaska for a semester to simply change my environment and see life in a new perspective. While there, me and a group of people for a class got to raft down the Yukon River and camp on the beaches for a week and a half (I never had camped before this trip!). I learned so much about myself and the true gift of life from the few months I was there. Seeing the Moose, bears, flying squirrels and Northern Lights was such a treasured experience.
