by yours truly!

gracefully kept is a word that I received around the start of 2018. if i’m being completely honest, i haven’t entirely grasped what it means yet. but it’s what we’re going with and i believe that these words are precious and do hold great meaning. another word on my heart when it comes to this space is vulnerability. i am going to try my best to be as vulnerable as i can here, because i believe that being open about where we’re at sparks development.

that being said, i don’t know what all we’re going to see in this space just yet. i know it’s getting kicked off on a serious note, but bear with me. we’re going to have fun too! if you DO decide to stick around–which i hope hope hope you do–here are some things you should know about me:

tulsa, OK is home. it’s actually a hidden gem, and there are so many truly amazing people here, but i don’t know what life looks like long term just yet.

i am a social justice major.[not criminal justice or law.] think social work mixed with evangelism, missions, and sustainability. plus a nonprofit business minor. i would absolutely love to work with/begin a ministry that helps the under-resourced. whether it be through sustainable labor practices, fair trade, development, or something else.

i am creative. or i try my best to be. for some reason it’s really weird to label yourself as one but i would say i am. i love style, design, aesthetics, and other creative things.

this paragraph used to say that i am not a coffee drinker, but since being in Europe that has definitely changed. nothing beats a classic cafe con leche.

i am an enneagram type 9w8 🙂 love or hate the enneagram, i owe its resources to some major growth and change in my life, that was so needed. i would have never put language to certain things i struggled with if the enneagram didn’t exist.

i love jesus with my entire heart. not much more to say than that.
