What are you excited about in your new role?

Why YFC?

I love getting to know people and diving deep into community. I feel called to help young adults through challenging times, and share with them the joy of Christ.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

No, it’s a hot dog. It is in a league of its own.

What’s the best book you’ve read lately?

I am currently reading Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. I am really excited to finish this one!

What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled?

It’s not really a prank but once I shut the power off when my sister would not let me use the home computer. She was using the computer and when I asked for a turn she denied me. So I shut of the power to the house. 🙂

Besides Jesus, your family, etc., what’s something you love/are passionate about? Or a hobby you have?

I love shopping! I love creating Youtube videos! (Although I have been slacking on that lately!)

What song do you know all the lyrics to?

Whitney Houston – I’m Every Woman
