My Story
I’m a 19-year-old girl who is Chicago born, Minnesota raised, and California living, with four months living in Bolivia, and a semester in Uganda in between. In the process, I'm learning how to love God with everything I got.
I grew up in a safe and loving family, and everything about living in America seemed to encourage what was comfortable, logical, and known. Somehow, I grew up wanting to create a story that was unknown. I wanted to break out of the box of comfortable and live a story written supernaturally by the hand of my father. I wanted to redefine community, starting at Acts 2:42-27. After starting an intentional community in high school, I started to see God move in my life from the inside out, seeing miracles that I couldn’t explain in the context of community. God loves to move when we give him space to. I started to see what could be possible.
What kind of life has Jesus made possible?
That is the question I live in, the tension I embrace, and the challenge I get the honor to accept. At a young age I’m still learning what life well lived looks like, but so far, I’ve found that it looks like living loved. Everything seems to flow out of that.
I started my website when I was 10 years old, and there was one quote I wanted on the home page.
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and that I could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.’”
To whom much is given, much is possible.
This is what I’m learning and I’d love it if you join me because this is the life that God offers us. It's a call for more than just what we see as “the good life.” It’s an invitation to experience radical love in the mundane. It’s an invitation to question the status quo and live intentionally. It’s an invitation to live life wild and free. It’s an invitation to live for more.
Each day I'm discovering what has been made possible in Jesus Christ.

Habakkuk 1:5:
Look at the nations and watch--
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told
