I was born in Tyler, Texas and raised by my parents in the small town of Hawkins, Texas with my two older brothers and my younger sister. We spent our days watching the best shows of the 90’s and exploring the woods in our backyard.
Fast forward into my “adolescent years,” I became somewhat rebellious, and entered into a world of drugs, and alcohol, and fell into a really dark place. After high school ended in 2005 (thank goodness!) I went to Hands on Therapy Massage School and received my license in therapeutic massage. Then in 2006, I had my beautiful spunky daughter Autumn Grace. During this period of my life God began to pursue me over a period of two years. Then one Sunday morning I decided to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior in a small church in LaRue, Texas when I was 22. Christ made me a completely new person! (Just ask my mom!) I always tell Autumn that she is the angel that God used to get my attention. In 2011 I earned my Associate of Arts degree at Trinity Valley Community College, then in 2014 I graduated from LeTourneau University with my Bachelor’s in Human Services. During my college years God placed a passion in my heart for broken people, specifically sex trafficking victims. I am looking forward to when God opens that door, but my greatest priority right now is raising my daughter to be a “kingdom woman.”
