When I was 14, I started leading worship at the church my mom planted, Legacy Brooklyn. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the importance of what I was doing, but over the years I’ve come to realize just how sacred and powerful worship truly is. Leading worship has become one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I love helping others encounter God through music and creating space for hearts to connect with Him.

I believe worship should be diverse, including people of different races, languages, and ages leading together. Music is a universal language, and worship is one of the most powerful ways to reach people and bring them into God’s presence. Through Bethany Global University and the Trellis program, I have the opportunity to explore full-time ministry while being supported and guided in creating a path for my calling. I will be interning at Wellspring Church as my church hub, where I will gain hands-on ministry training, and through BGU, I will also have the opportunity to travel to Kenya for six months to a year to participate in missionary work.

I am currently serving as a How to Life event director and helping lead Youth Alpha. I am also growing in my ability and confidence in prayer ministry. Through all of this, I’ve learned that ministry is not meant to be done alone. Community is essential, and I would be so grateful for support through both prayer and finances, as it helps me continue pursuing this calling and serving others through worship.
