Hometown: Coral Gables
My Spiritual Journey:
I asked Jesus to come into my heart 35 years ago here at UBC and was baptized a couple of weeks later. As a child, I understood the importance of growing in my relationship with Jesus Christ. Over the last 30 plus years, I have done this through small groups, serving, worship and seeking God’s plan for my life. I believe that God has a plan for me and I continue to seek and grow in my relationship with Him.
How I Ended Up at UBC:
I was invited to attend VBS by my 4th grade teacher at Coral Gables Elementary. My parents brought me that week to VBS and on the following Sunday I announced that I wanted to attend UBC. Our family was attending another church at the time but it didn’t take long for us to begin attending and then everntually join. We have been here ever since!
What I do:
I love what I do because I get to work with awesome volunteers who LOVE children and their families. I also get to have interaction with these families on a weekly basis as they fill the hallways of Hwy252. The excitement of the children as they head into their rooms each week motivates me and is a great reminder of why I am called to do what I do.
Dream for UBC:
My dream is that we can continue to help people in the city of Miami find and follow Christ.
What I love about UBC: I love the people at UBC! I have people who have invested in me as a kid who are now investing in my children's lives and are still serving here at UBC. UBC is my home away from home!
