Hi y’all! I grew up in Frisco, TX with wonderful parents and 2 younger sisters whom I adore. I love coffee, elephants, the color pink, and the beach!

I came to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior late in high school. Shortly thereafter, I took the quick drive up I35 to attend Oklahoma State University. As a new believer, I struggled to understand how to have a relationship with the Lord and often found myself looking for identity in my performance, my social calendar, and my relationships. I was living life with one foot in the world and one foot in the church and I was missing out.

After graduation and a year of travel, I moved back to Dallas and was invited by some friends to The Porch in January of 2014. It was through that ministry that the Lord, in His love and kindness, called me to go all in on walking with Him. To put it simply, He wrecked my world in the sweetest way. I jumped into a community group of loving, patient, and gracious women who taught me how to pray, how to study His word, and who consistently remind me that God’s love for me isn’t based on what I do but on who He is. We’ve been running after Him together ever since.

Here at CityBridge I have the privilege of serving as the Community & Connecting Assistant for the Plano Campus! It is a blessing to serve on this team and to encourage members as they get connected in the church and jump into community. God is changing lives for His glory and I’m thankful to have a front row seat.
