God has marked me for the nations, and the nations are coming to San Diego!
My story
Why YWAM?
I grew up a California girl in the church, but it wasn’t until I was 18 where everything changed in my walk with Jesus Christ. In 2017, I had an encounter with God, where I felt the weight of His glory come over me, He showed me a vision of His mark on my forehead and told me, “I’ve marked you for the nations.” I was COMPLETELY blown away! Since then, my passion has been to follow His lead wherever it takes me, to walk in intimate relationship with my Creator, and to bring the name of Jesus to the nations (especially through music and praise)! Two years later, in 2019, I got a word from God that I would eventually be moving to San Diego. Now it’s here! Since that time I have traveled to several nations including but not limited to Panamá, Argentina, and Mexico (where I lived for two years) as a missionary and worshiper. I had wondered why the Lord would first take me to Mexico before moving to San Diego, and He told me right away; “I needed to take you out of your own culture so that you could learn to walk in Mine.” He was so right! The past several years of my life I have been preparing and training to serve and love on the people of the world, including doing Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM), a Discipleship Training School (DTS), YWAM’s School of Biblical Studies, and their School of Worship in Kona, Hawaii. Despite all of this training, my heart is to build relationship and community as a priority, to know and understand people, to be a discipler and to be discipled. My biggest priority, however, is to KNOW Jesus daily; to choose Him daily above all else, and to fall in love with Him more and more every time!
My Needs
Your support helps…
Your support towards YWAM Endless Summer provides a way for me to stay in full-time missions, allowing me to give my time and attention towards pouring out to the community and serving in YWAM. Your support goes towards my housing and living expenses, covering my rent, insurance, car maintenance, and groceries. It will also go towards personal ministry expenses, like training and travel, as well as providing a way for me to enjoy a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle, like working out at the gym, and being able to grab a coffee with friends!
What I will be doing
My Mission
With a heart and passion for music and worship, I will be serving a lot in this area as YWAM Endless Summer’s worship director, having the honor and privilege of leading people to experience the presence of the Living God! This is where true freedom reigns, where chains of shame are broken, the heaviness of the world is lifted off, and where we find true salvation, healing and deliverance. My desire is to see followers of Christ enter into their God-given identity as sons and daughters of the King, and I want to accomplish this through serving in the local community and discipling others, leading times of worship and prayer and teaching the Word of God.

About giving
I invite you to join my team of ministry partners! Whether financially or through prayer, your giving makes a HUGE difference! If your heart is burning to make a difference in this world, yet you are working and pouring out into the sphere of society that you are called to, I would love to be an extension of your arm that can reach out in the mission field, to the parts of the world that you are unable to reach. Everything you give will go through me to the ones Jesus loves, to those in need, pouring into the kingdom of God!
