Growing up going to church was a social event for me.  I began to find significance in being “good”, having friends, and playing sports.  That pattern continued for me into college.  It wasn’t until my junior year in college that I realized there was a big gap between what I thought it meant to be a Christian and actually having a relationship with God.  It was through seeing some of my sorority sisters living out the Christian life that made me question if I had ever truly surrendered my life to Christ.  I became painfully aware that nothing I could ever do would ever warrant eternal life – not even being “good”.  Freed from that pressure, I turned to Christ to accept the gift of eternal life through trusting in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection as my salvation.

Naturally after having God do such a mighty work in my own life during college, I have a special burden to share the hope of eternal life with other college women.  I worked at Merrill Lynch for two years right out of college, while volunteering my time to build relationships with students in order to share Christ with them.  During those two years God began to show me what a privilege it is to invest my life in knowing Him more as well as helping others do the same.  Campus Outreach’s strategy to do this through evangelism and discipleship was very attractive to me.  I came on staff with Campus Outreach in 2002 and worked as a campus staff person at Valdosta State University for 4 years.  In the fall of 2006, I began a new role as the regional women’s coordinator.  My new role includes the privilege of helping shepherd staff women on 6 different campuses in our region as well as have a personal ministry with students at ASU.  God continues to use this role to teach me more about His unfailing love and abounding grace.
