What are your personal and career goals and ambitions?
I aim to bring my faith in Jesus into everything I do, and show His love and truth to all. Career wise I am interested in lobbying and advocacy work, and hope to advocate for issues in the Christian realm, such as religious liberty, education, and pro-life efforts. I am also a songwriter, and aim to use the story God has given me to tell, all for His glory. My ambitions lie within what His word calls me to do, which is to fight for truth and grace in a world that is rapidly moving away from the Bible.
How do you plan to use the scholarship funding to achieve change in the world?
I am a political science major and music business minor. This scholarship will help me continue my education with the last few semesters I have left, and hopefully enter into the workforce debt-free. With the completion of this degree, I will have obtained the education to be able to go into the advocacy realm I described above. I will be able to lobby for issues that God calls me to defend and fight for, and do His will on this earth that he leads and guides me to.
Can you share a little about your Story?
The foundation of my faith was built when I attended private Catholic school in Tucson, AZ from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I was raised in a beautiful bubble around people that were like a second family to me, a place filled with daily prayer, weekly masses, and receiving the sacraments. I learned about God and how He works in my life.
What are you most passionate about?
A return in America to Biblical principles. God wrote us a love letter that perfectly outlines the morals humans need to be able to function in a healthy way. I want to lead and serve others as Jesus did on the cross when He died for my sins and yours. I want people to know and feel that love as I do because it is accessible to all. I truly believe that true change can be found through the Creator that knit us together in our mother's womb and who loves us as if we are the only one in this world to love.
What do you like most about the BattlePACs community?
I love the freedom of speech aspect, and that battlepacs creates spaces for different people to express their opinions without judgement. I think in a society that is often unable to disagree agreeably, battlepacs creates a community where people are able to do just that. I appreciate the differences of opinions in members answers and how everyone has the opportunity to have their say AND be challenged.
