About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish Nursing school and teach in Vietnam!

ABOUT ME

Doing Nursing residency with the Veteran's Administration this summer and teaching nursing in Vietnam. Graduating in December. I am 5th of 7 children and grew up in a church denomination where we could always call someone in the state we were visiting to find a place to crash. Parents always opened our home to anyone who needed a place since as long as I could remember.

PHILOSOPHY

God has an amazing life planned out for us, we just need to listen and follow!
