Current Projects: Person of the Week (which will be resuming soon!) and other dope projects that have yet to be revealed :-)
Fun Fact: I love languages! Not only are they super fun, but they are an excellent way to form deep connections with people. I have studied Spanish for six years, and recently started learning Arabic.
Favorite Quote: "I look up towards the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven & earth!" Psalms 121:1-2, New English Translation
