Wyldlife STAFF ASSOCIATE
Hey Y'all! I'm from Fergus Falls, MN but have been living in Grand Forks for the last 3 years now. I go to UND and am studying accounting. I have been involved in YL since middle school which is where I established my relationship with Jesus. Coming to Grand Forks I wanted to continue to lead kids as I was led by my Younglife leaders growing up. Seeing students lives being changed through Gods love and grace the last couple years I've been on staff has been a great gift and it motivates me to meet and know more kids!

I'm from Fergus Falls, MN. I am currently in my second year at UND studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Biology. I am also on the UND track team. I have been a part of Younglife since I was in 6th grade. As I grew up, I wanted to continue my walk with Jesus and help other kids grow in their faith and experience all that Younglife has to offer.
