What would be the title of your autobiography?
Earthly Small, Heavenly Eternal
There's something so powerful about thinking about how small we are on this Earth. We mean nothing to 99% of the world, and everything to our God! And thinking about how the grace of God can make us so BIG spiritually. We mean so much to Him, and our love for Him is almost always failing, but His love for us is so overwhelmingly powerful, and unending. It's so hard for us to wrap our heads around!

If you could eat with anyone (past or present) who would you eat with and where would you go?
I would want to eat with Beyonce for sure!! Beyonce is my idol because she is such a strong woman, who stands for what she believes in. She is so humble, and lives a unique life. I'd love to sit and eat junk food with her!

What has been the best thing about being involved with YL?
The best thing about being involved with Young Life is all of the opportunities God has shown me. I've been challenged in so many ways, and I've learned so much about myself since I've been involved with YL. YL is the reason I"m in my relationship with God, so there is so many glorious things about it.

If you could have any superpower, what would you have?
Of course, I would be able to fly. I feel like it would be faster than walking, there would be less traffic, and you wouldn't need to park! Plus you could admire beautiful nature everywhere you go!

Lake, River, or Ocean?
Ocean of course!!!
The beach is my favorite place on earth. If I could pick my family up and move there, I would! I love the saltwater and I love the sun. The ocean brings me so much happiness. 

Love Is Patient.
This would be the title of my autobiography because throughout my life I've been faced with being patient when it comes to being loved and loving someone. I'm a very compassionate person about others and their hearts. Many times in my life I have not been patient and not been loving; but I always forgive and remember that love is patient. Like Bob Goff says, "Love others and do stuff." I strive to be this person every day God blesses me with.

If you could be two animals, what would you be?
I would be a puppy because I like to be loved all the time. I also like to eat and take naps whenever I want. I would also be a lion because I love to take care of others and be loving. i want to make sure my family has everything they need to survive. 

What has been the best part of being a YL leader?
Making relationships with kids and other leaders! Showing others who God is and how he works through our every day lives. I came to know who Jesus is through YL and I want to be the person that can do the same for another kid or many kids.

In your opinion, what is the best ice cream flavor?
Mint chocolate chip!!! But if you give me any kind of ice cream I'd be happy because it's ice cream. 

Lake, River, or Ocean?
​Lake because I love tubing!!
