About

  • Project Lead | Project Architect

    I grew up on the mission field and have been exposed to missions my entire life. 

    I was born in the Dominican Republic where we lived till I was four (1987-1991), and then raised in the North-Central part of Spain in the Basque area (1992-1998). I grew up cross-culturally and from an early age saw God at work in missions.

    Fast forward to college, where I attended Judson University (2005-2009), and was involved with student leadership, missions, and spent three summers working at a summer camp, Miracle Camp, ministering to kids - third grade through high school (Summers of 2008, 2009, 2010).  Working in different positions, I learned how to use my gifts and abilities to serve God’s kingdom.  Then in grad school where I attended Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD, 2010 - 2012), I focused my project work on missional architecture.

    Once in the professional field, I found ways to be involved in missions while continuing to build up my skill sets.  Through EMI, I will have the opportunity to combine my professional work in architecture and design with my passion for missions.
