I was born and raised in Lake Jackson, Texas where my youth group at Shady Oaks Assembly of God played a vital role in my growth as a teen. I then moved to the beautiful city of Chattanooga, Tennessee to begin the Occupational Therapy program in August 2000. I am involved with the Vineyard of Chattanooga where I was the first college student to attend and now there are 100's. I graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in December 2002. I then began working at Erlanger Medical Center a trauma 1 hospital in which patients are life-flighted from a 100 mile radius. I love my job! I get to work with burns, spinal cord injuries, motor vehicle crashes and so much more. I met my handsome husband Elijah at church in August 2003 and got engaged December 2003. Two months later Elijah was sent to Iraq for a year. We were married July 30th 2005.
