Get to Know Me

What book have you read more than once?

The Bible, there are so many inspiring stories and proverbs that have helped me to gain strong convictions on how to live.

Favorite organization/non-profit?

HOPE Worldwide – they use 95% of their funds to directly impact people for good. I've helped with their programs to open up "HOPE Centers" in Mexico. Very dear to my heart.

How do you recharge?

I love to play sports at the beach like praying, volleyball, hike, and ultimate frisbee. I'm also a foodie and love to try new cuisines and foods.
