I was born and raised in Southern California and have been a California girl ever since. My parents were trip leaders for Royal Servants for the first ten years of my life, so I spent many summers growing up in Europe. My favorite memory is eating cotton candy with my daddy at the Eiffel Tower.

I first went on Royal Servants as a student when I was 13 and I have gone several times since as a Staff Discipler and an Assistant. I even met my best friend on a trip (we got married four years later). Honestly I feel more at home in Scotland or Nepal or Israel than I do here in the States.

What I love most about Royal Servants is the intense discipleship that happens and that’s what really gets my heart beating. I have a passion for youth ministry, discipleship and missions and have been involved in youth ministry since 2008. The best part of my week is the time I spend with my high school girls Bible study.
