MULTIPLIER | CORVALLIS TEAM

Growing up for me was different in so many ways. I was an only child who was raised by my mom for about half of my life. With our small little family, we would drive up to Phoenix, AZ where my grandparents had lived at the time to attend a Catholic Church. It wasn't till I was about 6 years old that my mom and I switched churches and started attending a non-denominational christain church. I never really had a good taste of attending church, and it mostly felt like a chore that interrupted my sleep on Sundays. My view on God was very little, and was never really a blimp on my radar. 

Fast forward to my freshman year of college, I had moved to Monmouth, OR to attend Western Oregon University. This was the biggest adventure that I was about to take on by myself. It was a bit challenging to leave all my friends in Arizona to make a new set of friends and figure out my life. The first two terms of school were very lonely for me, and I found it very difficult to make friends. Shortly after that, I quickly fell into the party scene because it was easy to find friends to drink with. It continued to be another year of loneliness and shallow friendships. I thought often, ‘this is what college is about, why is this so hard and lonely?’

The first time I had heard the gospel and felt the full weight of Jesus dying on the cross, was the end of my sophomore year. It was shocking and a little bit confusing to me as to why someone would want to do that for ME, after all the things that I had experienced in my life; my father leaving me, toxic relationships, drinking, and feeling empty. It was in that moment I realized the people that were sharing these things with me about the gospel truly cared about me. They wanted to know what made me sad, joyful and what it meant to be friends with me through the tough times. I gave my life to Jesus the end of sophomore year beginning of junior year and quickly fell in love with who Jesus was and everything that He was about. 

I started interning with Resonate at the end of my senior year, and stepped onto full time start the year of 2021! I was passionate, and still am, about reaching the lost and telling them that they are enough and Jesus paid it all for them. I am here to tell all the women who didn’t think that they could ever be loved, cherished, or respected that Jesus our Lord and savior cares for them and that much more. PLUS, you get an amazing community that will push towards Jesus and that will love you unconditionally despite your sinful tendencies, and that… is why I love the job that I am in.
