What you have gained from working with RRP? It is honestly hard to put into words what I have exactly gained from working with RRP. There have been so many things. I have learned the importance of dialogue and the necessity for cross-cultural communications. I have learned how to cherish silence when necessary and how to just be in the moment. More than anything I have learned how there is truly hope in this world concerning race relations. I love how RRP runs with the intimate dialogues and peer facilitators.

Something you'd like people to know about you: I have worked with mentally disabled and emotionally disturbed children. Honestly, these experiences have forever changed my life.

Favorite Quote (verse): Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Remember, everyday is a gift. Enjoy the little things. To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven - Ecclesiastes 3:1
