My Story:

I think God every day for the doors he has opened and closed in my life, leading me to where I am today. Through him, IA has open their doors to me, and I feel very blessed to be a part of a staff and organization serving others. I am excited to be able to walk alongside the young men and women here, on their journey in faith and success, as they become a positive impact and member of society.
