Throughout my collegian career, I experienced success and hardship. My team won the conference tournament in all four years of my experience. We were fifth in the nation, one of the best D2 teams in collegian soccer. This was a hard journey, though. I faced two torn knees in the span of a year in a half. The Lord showed me that while sports are fun, my identity should always be found in Him. My character, my leadership, my sportsmanship, my drive for the game, etc., all increased when I was faced with these hardships. I become more grateful for the gift that the Lord had given me and wanted to use my platform to glorify His name. After my days on the field were over, I knew the Lord was calling me to continue pursuing sports but in a different way. 

As I am originally from Iowa, I decided to come back to Iowa and begin the next chapter of my life. I am newly married to my best friend, Nate. In addition to this, I started my full-time staff position as an area representative for Mid-Iowa’s FCA. I get the honor of working in the Roland-Story, Ballard, Nevada, Gilbert, Colo-Nesco, and Ames schools. 

My story has just begun. There is so much yet to do. I am fully devoted to Jesus and humbled to serve Him in growing the Kingdom of Heaven through FCA. I hope you will join us in reaching more student-athletes for Jesus
