• My heart belongs to Jesus. He, first and foremost, knows me, loves me, and accepts me for who I am. I am unapologetically a passionate believer in the Gospel, and it has absolutely shaped the course of my life.

• I’m a lover of coffeehouses but not coffee. You can find me sitting in a coffeeshop often, but I’ll never drink the stuff! My preferred caffeination is Coke Zero, but if I find myself in a local place, I’ll often pick up an iced chai latte or a hot cocoa to satisfy my thirst!

• I’ve traveled extensively (4 continents and counting), but my favorite place and heart and soul is in Southern Africa. In my spare time, I manage the media for a nonprofit based in the small African nation of Eswatini. Many of the photos on this site were taken in Africa. To learn more about the Swaziland Partnership, please visit their website. 

• I’m a HUGE theater junkie. I’m actually a season ticket holder at the Durham Performing Arts Center and you can often find me taking in a show or listening to a musical soundtrack! Some favorites: Hamilton (me and everyone else, right?), Wicked, Mamma Mia, and Anastasia.

• One of my favorite pastimes is writing (hence the blog), but I often edit my friends resumes. I’ve jokingly been called the professional resume writer of our friend group. It’s a title I’m actually quite proud to hold!

• If this kind of things actually exists, I think I was a well loved Golden Retriever in a past life! 🙂 I’m a huge lover of dogs, but not in my own season of life yet! If you have a dog to share, please let me know, I’d love to hang out!
