What did you want to be when you grew up?: I've always wanted to be in an office like my dad. I remember as a kid I used to want to be a dentist and make people's teeth pretty or even a teacher and have fun playing games. I've always wanted to be a mom and all the fun things that go with that! I remember back in the day I wanted to work for McDonalds and talk with those cool mics, I also remember that I wanted to be a vet so I could help poor helpless animals, I also would have loved to be a park warden who rides around on a jeep, with the top down, who checks on the wild animals: like cheetahs, lions, and leopards. I thought it would be so fun having like another guy who could tranquilize the animal and then I would run in and check their paws and whiskers. But now that I look back on all those things I think my wishes for what I want to do has kind of changed. I still would love to do anything in an office but not stuck there all the time because I love people and I like to talk with them. So I probably would like a more hands on job. I am also very interested in traveling and going out and seeing the world. So being a missionary has been something on my heart for a while, but don't ask where, I'm open for anything right now! 
Why did you choose to be involved with WGM?: My parents are missionaries with WGM and I love to be able to get away somewhere and feel at home.  
What "luxury item" do you take with you on any mission trip?:   chacos, and deodorant
What's the strangest thing you've eaten on the mission field?: 
flying ants, and grasshoppers
What words of advice would you give someone who is about to depart on their first missions experience?:  To be prepared for God to change them somehow in a new way, maybe in seeing something they have never seen. Also to not just go on a missions trip to see a new place and see the people, but to really get to know the natives and try and get into the culture...really dive in and mingle with them. Be prepared to try something new.
