CURRENT MISSION

See the world. Love the world.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Southern California, about an hour north of Los Angeles. I just graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology, which I hope to use to do social work in the near future. I love working with children. I love learning about new cultures. I love hearing people's life stories.

PHILOSOPHY

The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands: "See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God. (Micah 5:8)

I'm here to love.
