I graduated high school in 2012, but had no direction for my life. I didn't want to go to college, and if I did I had no idea what to go into. Instead I became a nanny; I got my first job and lived in Troy, Ohio for a year. A year later the family moved to Louisville, and I didn't feel like God was calling me there, so I started looking for a new nannying job.  My aunt called me and asked if I would be willing to move to Cincinnati to help her with her three boys. In August of 2013 I moved to Cincinnati, and I fell in love with the city. Unfortunately I had no friends or community, but I knew that I wanted it. My sister had told me about H2O Church and how the H2O at BGSU had been impactful to her while she was in college. She encouraged me to check it out, so in November I finally got the courage to go. I am so glad I did because I instantly fell in love. There was a love between them that I had never seen before. I wanted more, so I started going to services, life groups, and just about anything else I got invited to. I went through the Well, a discipleship class we offer, which is how I met my best friend Cassi. Cassi was my mentor for the well and was the first person I opened up to about depression and anxiety. She challenged me to go even further in my walk with God. I wouldn't be where I am today if God hadn't put her in my life when he did! I continued to get involved and eventually became a leader, and after about a year and half of serving in H2O I knew God was calling me to go on staff. I went to staff training in October of 2015 and started support raising right after that. I finished up support raising by the following August. I have been serving here at the University of Cincinnati at H2O Church ever since. H2O helped completely change the way I view God and my relationship with Him, and I want to help do that for students who come here. If they don't know Jesus at all, I pray God will use me to show them who he is and their need for a savor. I love serving the kingdom in this way, and that's why I chose to go into ministry!
