Where are you from? Siloam Springs, AR

What activities were you involved with at JBU? Although I did not attend JBU, when I was in high school I was involved in Escape, YoungLife, and Impact, which are all ministries that are led by JBU students. I remember feeling so "cool" because JBU students would come and eat lunch with me every Tuesday! There are definitely some great CAUSE Ministries to be involved in; you really get to impact younger kids!

Major in college? Strategic Communications (Public Relations & Advertising)

Why are you working at JBU? I am working at JBU because it is one of the greatest Christian Universities in the USA. There are few places where you can go and really feel the Lord's presence in chapel, meetings, and in classes! It's been amazing to watch JBU grow and change over my entire life!

What's one word or phrase that describes you? This phrase doesn't really describe "me," but it describes what I strive for.  "Life is satisfying only when you diligently serve the Lord, whatever your circumstances."  My one word would be "Create."

What is your favorite thing to do in NWA? My favorite thing? I'm going to list a few: Going to a Razorback Football, Naturals Baseball, or Basketball game, going fishing at Beaver Lake, going Hiking at Devil's Den, or attending a play at the Walton Arts Center!

What are some movies you enjoy? Hairspray, Marley & Me, and most comedies/romances/action movies!

Describe your family: Wow, what a question! My parents demonstrate what I describe as "true love," they have been married 40 years and still act as though they just walked down the aisle. I have three brothers who are all very talented and successful living in Dallas, Virginia, and Fayetteville, AR. It has been hard growing up as the baby of three brothers who are quite a bit older than I am, but I love them all the same!

What quick advice would you give an incoming JBU student? Take the ACT and SAT several times, answer your phone when we call, and get ready for one of the greatest experiences of your life with some amazing people who you will get the chance to know!  One last thing, make sure and visit!!! We hope to hear from and see you soon!
