I grew up in farm in South Dakota with both my parents and five siblings. I was home schooled throughout my whole education, but was involved in cheer leading at the public school as well. I absolutely
love being part of a big family and having lots of cousins to spend
time with. Through my high schools years I worked at Subway and made
many great friends. I also worked at a local coffee shop and there
discovered my love for coffee. I enjoy hanging out with friends, having
a good talk over coffee at Caribou, taking walks by the lake, reading a
good book that makes me think, playing piano and guitar, worshiping
Jesus, and going home when I can on weekends. I now attend a Bible
School in Minneapolis, MN and nanny in the afternoons for two little
girls. Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to be a missionary,
but my passion for missions was ignited again when I went to Panama at
the age of 16 for a two week missions trip with 400 other Christian
girls. The following summer I went to Peru with the same organization
and that is when I knew for sure that God wanted me to be a a
missionary overseas.
