I’m 23 years old. I’m also the director of a ministry that reaches out to girls in grades three through twelve. I began the ministry when I was 18 and worked 40+ hours a week for over four years before ever receiving my first paycheck. And I wouldn’t change one single thing about that experience.

When I’m not busy in our fabulous ministry office, you’ll probably find me chasing after my two puppies Snuggles and Cuddles. I also enjoy wearing shirts with polka dots on them, especially if there’s pink involved. My not-so-secret dream is to spend a day pretending to be Shamu’s trainer. Listen, a girl’s got to have a goal or two in life and mine just happens to include playing with a large killer whale.

I write about a lot of different things here on the MinSoFab blog. Some of it is about the “behind the scenes” of Starlite, giving you a peek into our world of ministering to a whole lot of girls. But I also write about my personal life, too — well, mainly about my hair. You’ll also see a lot of posts from me about being single. The mommy bloggers write about their children; the business bloggers write about their jobs… and I write about my horrible blind dates. But I also write about my future Mr. Right.

You’ll notice that I write about someone called Roomie; she’s a girl I was dorm roommates with during our early college days. When Roomie found out that she would be having a baby and raising it on her own, she came to live with me. You’ll read a lot about Baby, too.

In 2006, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Communications. A year later, I walked across the stage again to receive my master’s degree in Youth and Family Ministries and promptly went home to take a very, very long nap. I think I earned it.

If you still want to learn more about me, perhaps you should read a list of 100 little known things about me and Starlite. It’ll put you to sleep, I promise.
