I believe that Jesus meant it when he told us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that we are closest to him when we step toward the margins of society. I write to work through what that looks like in my everyday life, and how we can come together to walk in alignment with his kingdom values.

My passion for writing began as a hobby and turned into a vocation in 2021 when I joined the content creation team at We Choose Welcome, where I worked until October 2024. This work allowed me to dig deeper into the intersection of immigration advocacy and the call for followers of Jesus to honor the image of God in all of our neighbors.

I love reading and writing about the Bible, about God’s love for those often relegated to the margins, and about finding rest in an unjust world. Check out samples of my work and feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect!
