About Me

I grew up as a missionary kid in the Philippines attending Faith Academy as a student all the way up until the COVID-19 Pandemic. My parents are still serving in the Philippines currently. I have one younger sister and three younger brothers. My hobbies include reading, writing, baking, and playing sports.

What's New?

I just recently graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University with my Bachelor’s degree in Digital Communications, with a concentration in Sports Broadcasting and a minor in Marketing. I was also blessed with the opportunity to play basketball all four years of school. My senior season ended with us making it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen in the National Tournament.

This coming school year, I have been offered a job as the Social Media Manager at Faith Academy International School in the Philippines, where I will have the chance to serve in the community where I grew up and share the love of Christ with missionary kids just like myself. I will be serving with Kids International Ministries as my mission agency and will be helping them support their numerous ministry activities through social media as well.

I believe this is a calling God has clearly led me toward, and I am both humbled and excited for the opportunity to serve others in His name.
