How long have you been a Christian?  Since I was a little girl of about six years old.

Who is the most influential person in your life and why? A few of the most influential people in my life are my mother and Ryan and Angie Ketchum.  These special people are so strong, encouraging, examples of Christ and fill me with so much joy.

What is your favorite thing about NNU and why? My favorite thing about NNU is the community and the people because of the love and support they extend daily to all.

What is your most embarrassing moment? Something embarassing that happened to me, was earlier this school year.  Our choir was having practices for The Messiah and we were supposed to meet in the Emerson auditorium on campus.  Well, my brain must have temporarily left, because I thought it was supposed to be at the Brandt Center.  So I spent somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes walking around trying to get into the Brandt Center before a few others and myself realized where we were supposed to be.  Oh brother.
