Although my acts of mischief were relatively small, they were still sinful rebellions as I often acted with the knowledge that I was doing something wrong.

I became involved in CA because I was looking for a supportive Christian Fellowship that would help me grow in my faith with God.

I was the former President of Campus Ambassadors. I am a junior at UA studying business and accounting. My favorite activities are jet skiing and four-wheeling. I also love to travel to different places around the world.
