About Me

I am a former missionary kid who has a B.A. in Psychology/Counseling from Azusa Pacific University. I grew up in Wisconsin and lived in Minnesota, Canada, and California before settling in. I lived in South Africa for almost 4 months and would LOVE to go back someday.My strengths are Stratetic, Command, Relator, Individualization, and Restorative. My theme song for life is, "We will live to worship, give you praise... With all our hearts for all our days... Father, we want to do what you created us to... we will live to worship you..."Do not be surprised at sarcasm :)Get Your Own! | View Slideshow ..
