I accepted Christ as my savior when I was thirteen years old and surrendered my life to the Lord shortly thereafter. Throughout the next few years, the Lord kept directing my path toward missions. He confirmed His calling through answer to specific prayer and through Romans 10:14-15. After high school, God directed me to begin college at a local technical college. Following my graduation with a degree in Civil Engineering Technology, the Lord directed me to attend Crown College of the Bible. I graduated with a degree in Missions.

I completed a two month internship in Italy with veteran missionaries Frank Maietta (BWM), Larry Pieri (BWM), and Paul Childers in the summer of 2017. God burdened my heart for the Italians and challenged my view of missions in Europe. I saw the need for churches to be planted in Italy. After returning from Italy, God increased the burden for Italy, and he answered many specific prayer requests and again used Romans 10:14-15 to confirm that He wanted me to serve in Italy. In the summer of 2023, I took a three week survey trip to Italy to determine the region that the Lord wanted me to serve in. During this trip, God began burdening my heart for the numerous small towns and villages. The last week of this trip, I had the privilege to travel to Sardinia (an island west of mainland Italy) and visit the Faulkner family who are missionaries on the island. I was able to see the great need of the Gospel in Sardinia, an island of around 1.6 million people. God confirmed that Sardinia is the place for me to serve through many answers to specific prayer. I had the opportunity to spend two additional weeks in Sardinia in October of 2023. During this trip, I was able to get to know the Faulkner family better and be involved in the different ministries at the church plant. This trip also helped me familiarize myself with the towns and villages that I will be ministering in.
