Summary

Hi there! I'm 24 years old. I'm from Dothan, Alabama. I currently live in Memphis, TN where I recently completed a 9-month Biblical discipleship program called Downline. Over these past few months the Lord has not only given me a hunger for spiritual growth, but a desire to pursue vocational ministry. I hope to combine my business acumen with real world ministry experience to go out and fulfill The Great Commission!
