Life Journey and Testimony
I grew up in a small town in north western New Jersey. Raised by two loving Christian parents, I had a relatively ideal childhood. My dad, a strong Christian himself, invited me to give my life to Jesus at a very early age, and I grew up calling myself a Christian ever since I can remember. As a only child and home-school student, I had some time on my hands. Laying in bed one afternoon during my junior year of high school I came to the realization that if Jesus is who he says he says he is, then my life should change! The thought that followed was that I wanted to devote my life to helping others come to that same realization!! So from then on I pursued how God would use me to do just that. I went on to attend Taylor University for Biblical Studies and Philosophy (with a Youth Ministry Minor) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for a Master of Divinity all the while working with youth and leading worship. God has taken me from state to state and from churches to camps helping people realize the importance of the Gospel and I cannot wait to see how he will continue to do so in the future!
