I have a strong faith in God, and my relationship with Him is a central part of my life. On Wednesday nights, I have the privilege of singing at church for our youth group, and I also assist with the announcements on stage. Being able to serve my community in these ways is a blessing, and it allows me to express my love for God while connecting with others in a meaningful way. The church has always been a space where I can grow spiritually and contribute, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead and serve alongside others who share my faith.
Outside of church, I’m passionate about mountain biking. I've been a member of the Burnsville Mountain Bike Team for six years, and for the past three years, I've had the honor of being a team captain. This year, I’m racing at the varsity level, and it's been an exciting challenge to push myself further each season. I enjoy the adrenaline and camaraderie of the sport, and it’s been a fantastic experience to grow as both an athlete and a leader on the team. The dedication and teamwork I’ve learned on the trails have translated into many areas of my life, including my academics and faith.
Currently, I’m in my second year at Dakota County Technical College (DCTC)©, where I’m pursuing a path in both graphic design and business entrepreneurship. I’m taking classes that will equip me with the skills I need to run my own business someday. By the end of this semester, I’ll have earned a business certificate, and by the end of the 2026-2027 school year, I will have completed my graphic design degree. With these credentials, my goal is to open a Christian merch store, where I can combine my creative talents and my faith to serve others. I’m excited for the journey ahead and the opportunity to make a positive impact through my work.
