Year I joined Baylor: 2022
My Baylor Story: My Baylor journey began when my son Caleb enrolled in 2020, followed by my daughter Hannah in 2021. I quickly fell in love with the Baylor community and began volunteering by hosting send-off parties and leading Parents in Prayer. That experience led me to my current role in National Engagement at Baylor. I’m especially grateful for Baylor’s strong commitment to California. It’s a joy to be part of such a vibrant and connected Baylor Family here on the West Coast!
