As a pastor's kid who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, I wanted to be a part of the team that came to help in the areas darkest moments. I still feel that calling to be a part of this nations team when it comes to helping others. My faith is my strongest bedrock, and I believe that helps me to reach others in a way that separates me from others. My family has been involved with the foster care system, helping house multiple children who come from broken situations, and that has gave me perspective into what it takes to care for the lowest. As a member of the coffee shop that I have worked with the past few years, I have learned to build close and personal relationships with people I have nothing in common with. As a coach, I have utilized my strengths to help lead osseo high schools baseball team, allowing me to practice my leadership capabilities. I strive to make others feel seen and cared for, and I believe working with this nations bravest will allow me to do so.
