I was born in Dayton, Ohio. My dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around a lot. I have lived in Ohio, California, Germany, Virginia, and Maryland. I currently reside near Annapolis, in Maryland. I am attending Christopher Newport University (in Newport News, Virginia) and plan to graduate in the spring of 2008. I play varsity basketball at CNU, and i also enjoy playing volleyball in my spare time. I am a psychology major, with a minor in leadership. I really enjoy mission trips. I have been to Cuba twice on mission trips and Mexico three times. I have a passion for children as well as those less fortunate than I. I really feel called into missions by God, but not sure yet to what extent. I am hoping that this trip will give me experience, confidence, knowledge, and answers.
