About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become more Christ like everyday.

ABOUT ME

Just some random bits about:

I am a Christian.

I am the type of person who you can talk to about anything and who you don't have to be fearful of being judged.

I am inquisitive and humble by nature so you will rarely find me boasting in my own achievements. I prefer to share in the joys in other peoples achievements.

I am a Social Worker in the making who has a heart for the rights of children.
