God has called me to the mission field and to working with children in many different ways throughout my life. The earliest memory I have of this calling is the passion I had for sending Christmas shoeboxes to kids around the world. This calling was developed through the children's ministry programs and other after-school clubs I volunteered at during middle and high school. Once I moved to college, God began to speak in a big way. I participated in a missions training program called the HEART Village. After completing the three- and fifteen-week programs, I felt like God was leading me to more. The summer before my senior year of college I took a six-week trip with WGM to Bolivia. I spent time volunteering at the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center (SCCLC) and seeing what life was like on the mission field. These combined experiences led to a commitment to serving longer term in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

In Bolivia, between 400,000–800,000 children work in hazardous conditions, in addition to going to school, which sets the stage for instability in their lives. I hope to provide a stable community for these students to grow and learn in.

By serving at the SCCLC, I will be connecting my faith to my career. Bolivia is the place I feel God has called me to serve. While in Santa Cruz, I hope to provide a safe place for students. I still remember the teachers who made an impact on my life, and I hope to make that same difference in the lives of my students. I also hope to share the love of Jesus Christ with them in both a personal and academic setting.
