Years worked at Covenant One year
Hometown Orlando, FL (Nanjing, China)
Local Church I attend Mountain Fellowship (church plant of North Shore Fellowship)
Covenant College, BA in Community Development with minors in Psychology and Sociology
Best residence life memory from my college days During my junior year, Maclellan/Rymer Hall was scheduled to host our annual Rymer Cup field day event, but it got completely rained out. Some girls on my hall (Halcyon) and guys on our brother hall (Lawrence) played soccer, barefoot, in the rain for a good 2-3 hours. It was epic.
Favorite way to spend a Saturday: Wake up early with the sunlight streaming in from the window. Spend the morning reading, journaling, and drinking coffee in my bed. Take the afternoon to hang out with friends, adventuring and exploring somewhere I haven't been before. Cook dinner, share it with someone, have some thoughtful conversations...crawl into bed exhausted, but content.
Three words to describe life in Carter Hall Established, Alluring, and...Boisterous
Best thing about my job Sharing my life and faith with college students! What a unique and transitional stage in life and what a blessing it is to witness so much growth and change.

Major Elementary Education
Hometown McAllen, TX
Favorite class taken at Covenant Doctrine with Dr. Kapic. This class has been instrumental in shaping my beliefs and helped me come to own for myself the faith and tradition in which I was raised. It has impacted my understanding of God's grace and sovereignty and given me a greater passion for pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord and greater knowledge of Scripture.
What the residents on my hall can expect 3rd North is reopening after being closed for 2 years, so residents can expect to be instrumental in forming a new hall identity. Expect old traditions and originality to come together and form great memories that will leave a legacy.
What I'm all about Living in the fullness of the riches of God's grace and embracing the life and time He has given me. I'm also all about spending time in the sun and cups of coffee in the morning.

Major Psychology
Hometown Managua, Nicaragua
Favorite class taken at Covenant General Psychology with Dr. Rulon tops any other class so far. Dr. Rulon prefaces his class with the seemingly absurd suggestion that "if you need to take a nap in class, then do it!" I am convinced this is only one of Dr. Rulon's fun psychological tricks because he knows that the material is too interesting to sleep through. Each topic covered in class – whether it was sleep, behavior, neurotransmitters, or marriage – is relevant to the student and inevitably engaging.
What the residents on my hall can expect Girls on Third South, I want to pour into you, to challenge you, and to constantly be pointing you to Christ. This will only be possible if Christ comes first. My hope for Third South is that each of us will be open to receive and trust Christ's love for us. That the gospel will break through our sinful selves and build us together as a community of girls that points one another to Christ.
What I'm all about People, the color orange, the taste of chocolate, good questions, being more in love with Jesus, deep conversations, star-gazing, worshipping, thinking too hard, uncontrollable laughter, soaking in beauty, spontaneous adventures, silly games, Music & Lyrics, being warm, and reading books that are over my head.

What the residents on my hall can expect 3C is known for having many traditions and fun experiences while being “heard before seen,” and loving each other through easy and hard times.

What the residents on my hall can expect Residents living on 5th North Borderlands can expect to enter into a community of encouragement, accountability and solid relationships founded on a love for and desire to pursue Christ.
