Fun Fact: I have 16 younger siblings between my two families. I love having a big family!!
Why are you a part of H2O Church Indiana? College can be a really messy and dark time for many. That's right where I was when Jesus pursued my heart and rescued me! Then I saw God use the church and specific people in my life to show me the heart of God for me, overflowing with so much more grace and mercy than we can imagine. And now I am excited to be a part of it by serving as God's hands and feet to show students the same hope and freedom that Jesus showed me. Nothing compares to Jesus!

Why are you a part of H2O Church Indiana? Growing up, I knew a lot about God but didn’t fully understand that she could have a relationship with Him. I went to college at Ohio State, quickly started attending H2O Church and was drawn to the vulnerability of the girls in her small group. Throughout college, I experienced the freedom and grace found in being authentic about life's struggles and how being bold with your faith leads to life transformation. I graduated in 2017 and decided to join the staff team with H2O Church at Indiana University because I'm passionate about discipling women to be leaders with their faith and helping students find joy in the Lord in the midst of hard circumstances.
In my free time, I like to: Drink coffee, play volleyball, make up random dance moves, watch marvel movies and use puns as often as possible

Fun Fact: I know every word to every Taylor Swift song ever produced.
Why are you a part of H2O Church Indiana? Jesus captured my heart while I was in college and has given me a desire to share Him with people who are in a similar season I was when he first caught my attention. The "college years" are often seen as a time to do whatever you want with no repercussions, but I believe that God is moving in the hearts of college students and leveraging this time in their lives for BIG life transformation and kingdom work. Basically, I just want to be a part of it in any way I can.
In my free time, I like to: Laugh as much as possible and repeatedly try and fail at picking up any and every new hobby.

Fun Fact: I teach myself how to play instruments
Why are you a part of H2O Church Indiana? Because campus ministry was a space where I was reached with the gospel and provided a community to experience Christian fellowship as a new believer. college is a wildly stimulating and soul-searching time, so if I can be a presence on IU's campus for students figuring out what they believe, there's nothing I'd rather do. I came on the plant because it was providentially occurring as I was graduating Ohio State, and I sensed God convict my heart of the worthiness of the endeavor.
In my free time, I like to: I like to eat a lot, especially out with friends, and I also like the guitar.
