Fun Facts

The most life changing decision I have ever made was to go on a mission trip to Nicaragua in the spring of 2012. It was the most powerful experience I have had and it strengthened my preexisting passion for serving others. While there, my group and I dug trenches for water pipes with the goal of bringing fresh water to communities for the first time. It has helped me reevaluate my priorities and ultimately helped strengthen my desire to help others.
