I grew up and spent my whole life in the West Michigan area. I graduated high school from Calvin Christian and went on to study Bible at Kuyper College. I graduated from Kuyper College with a double major in Bible/Theology and Ministry Leadership. After graduation, I served as the Youth Director and YoungLife Church Partner at Hager Park Reformed Church in Jenison, MI. During my time at Hager Park Church, I enjoyed substitute teaching on Fridays and being involved with YoungLife. It has been a blessing to be able to work with middle school and high school age students growing in our faith together. In my free time, I love to play sports and be active. I especially enjoy playing basketball any chance that I get. Also spending time with friends and family is important to me.
