Favorite Bible Verse: “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” John 15:4
Favorite Adoption Story: (so far:): My first infant placement with Nightlight was so special. I developed a really great relationship with the mom I was serving and ended up spending a few days with her in the hospital after she delivered. It was so fulfilling to be there for her and advocate on her behalf. Holding her sweet baby was a moment I’ll never forget! Now, the adoptive family keeps in touch with both birth parents - that little girl is so loved!
Education: I graduated from Concordia University Irvine in May 2024 with a BA in Behavioral Science - Sociology. I am currently pursuing my MSW at California Baptist University, and will be graduating the program in April 2026!
Responsibilities: I provide counseling to expectant parents, guiding them through their options, referring them to additional services, and eventually helping them create personalized adoption plans. As the primary agency contact for many pregnancy resource centers statewide, I collaborate with social work professionals to ensure comprehensive support for each mother I serve.
