Why I'm Passionate About Fitness: My passion is to send people off into their ministry fully equipped; spiritually, mentally and physically. Often times the physicality of ministry gets overlooked. Too many people will face and suffer from burn-out once they are launched out onto the ministry battlefield. Statistics speak for themselves: 1 in 10 will retire from ministry, the rest will have quit. I desire to be a small part in helping to reverse these numbers. As soldiers of Christ, enlisted into His army, we need to be fully suited in His armor upon leaving the training camp. 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

Favorite Food: Wild Meats and Sweet Potatoes
Why I'm Passionate About Fitness: My passion for fitness is about hunting and fishing for men. The Holy Spirit is always on the move glorifying the person of Jesus, which means to join in His ministry, we must also be on the move. Being caught up in something bigger than ourselves requires us, as children of God, to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually fit. My heart is for an awakening of the church to walk out the text; going to the ends of the earth, seeking the lost sheep, and bringing them safely into His pasture. John 10:16 "Come on Fish"

I grew up doing ballet and other forms of dance from a young age, and I took my very first Zumba class when I was in college. I fell in love with it because it made exercising so much fun! It brings me joy to see people having a blast while doing something beneficial for themselves.

Degree: Master of Divinity
Why you are passionate about serving in this role: I grew up playing sports. It was always a huge blessing to break up the potential stress of academia with a good-natured competition. As well as serving as a break from the regular flow of life, sports prepare us physically for the Lord's service and allow us to worship Him. I'm passionate about facilitating intramurals because it will allow me to give others the opportunity to push themselves and enjoy the blessings of positive competition done to honor our heavenly Father.

Why I am passionate about fitness: Dance is a part of my journey with Christ. I began coaching gymnastics as a teenager and shifted into dance during my undergraduate years.

Whether you're new to dance or you've danced your whole life, it's my joy to encourage a creative space that promotes physical health and emotional wellbeing. Dance is just too much fun to keep to ourselves!
