Family:
I live with my parents, niece, grandma, and aunty. I have one older sister who lives with her husband and their three kids in the mainland.
How did you first start coming to HCKB?
I first came to HCKB in 5th Grade because of my Aunty. After a couple years I left to ‘do my own thing’, but started to get in trouble. The summer before 8th grade I realized there had to be more to life than getting in trouble. I felt something missing from my life, but I couldn’t place my finger on it. At the start of 8th grade, my health teacher led me back to HCKB where I saw the joy in people that I wanted. Ever since then, I have been an active member of the church.
What is the one thing that you love about HCKB?
I love the connections and the friendships that I have made here and the fact that I am loved “as is”.
What do you love most about working for HCKB?
I love the fact that I always have someone to pray with and that we have a blast working together.
Who is the most influential person in you life?
Lori and Scott are the two most influential people in my life. They have helped me grow into the person I am today. Scott has opened my eyes to the spiritual world and he helped me realize who I am in Christ. Lori has taught me how to become a leader and has been there for me whenever I needed her support. Both of them have been my cheerleaders.
What inspires you?
Seeing children understand who God is, what He has done, what He is yet to do in their lives, and growing deep with Him.
Any hidden talents?
There are none that I know of, you can think of one for me.

My desire is to get married to a man whose heart is after God, have kids and be able to watch my kids and grandkids grow up in who God has made them to be.

Childhood Memory:
