What did you want to be when you grew up?:  I have always wanted to be a mother/teacher/artist/nurse/missionary/triathlete  
Why did you choose to be involved with WGM?:  Someone I respect very much told me I should apply for a position on cabinet and since I want to be involved in missions it seemed like a wonderful place to start serving.
What "luxury item" do you take with you on any mission trip?:  Classical music…sometimes thinking gets so stressful when everyone is talking in a different language that hearing classical music helps clear my head. 
What's the strangest thing you've eaten on the mission field?:  Raw scallops…pretty much all the food I ate in Japan was strange but good. 
What words of advice would you give someone who is about to depart on their first missions experience?:  Be flexible, expect the unexpected and pray continually.  God can use any situation to reflect His glory, we just have to be willing to let go of our plans and let Him take control.
