Meet the Staff

I moved from my Maui, Hawaii home to attend college at USC (where I received a BA in Theatre). God transformed my life in significant ways in college, and I was compelled to give my life to Jesus. Every day I learn more about who Jesus is, and the amazing life he offers. This is my 8th year on staff with InterVarsity at USC.

I live near the USC campus with my husband Steve and two-year old son Aaron. We love hosting people in our home. I have an endless amount of hobbies, including blogging, cooking, thrift store shopping, gardening, and making crafts and jewelry.

Growing up I lived in multiple states around the country, but after nearly 10 years in Los Angeles, it really feels like home. God "woke me up" while I was a college student at Cal State Fullerton in Orange County (where I graduated with an English degree), and I committed my life to Jesus. I used to think that God would never do amazing things in my life,  but I was so wrong! I love being on this journey with Jesus, and discovering more of the awesome life he wants to give us. I was on staff with InterVarsity for two years at UCLA before joining the Trojan community. Fight on!

I live close to USC, and have the best neighbors anyone could ask for...Larissa, Steve and Aaron! Some of my favorite things are learning new languages, reading good stories, meeting new people, and playing with all the cute babies I see on a regular basis.
