How long have you been a Christian? Since I was 5.... I'm 21 now.... you do the math.

Who is the most influential person in your life and why? It's a tie... My three powderpuff coaches: Trenton, Tyler and Matt.  They believe I can succeed.

What is your favorite thing about NNU and why? I love walking around campus knowing that I will see a smiling familiar face somewhere along the way.  NNU is a great community of friends.

What is your most embarrassing moment? My dad, who is a pastor, dismissed the kids to go to children's church.  He instructed us all to hug our parents before we left.  I, being the cute, obedient 7-year-old that I was, ran up on the platform to hug my dad.  As I hugged him the offering envelope that was clasped in my hand ruptured open and the hundreds of pennies I stuffed it with fell to the floor.  It was LOUD!  I looked at the congregation not knowing what to do.  So I calmly walked out leaving my offering all over the sanctuary.
