I was born and raised in the small town of Russiaville, Indiana where I was introduced to the Lord at a very young age from my wonderful parents. It wasn’t until middle school where I truly began to understand the gospel and take ownership of my faith. I felt the Lord calling me to medical mission work early on in highschool and have continued to pursue that to today. I attended University of Indianapolis for college where I met my husband Carlos. We married shortly before moving to Knoxville, Tennessee for medical school. It is a blessing to be joining the IHI family, and we are excited to see how God will work in our lives over these next three years. In our free time we enjoy all things outdoors, trying new foods, and serving together
