My parents divorced when I was 7, and I became even more focused on academics and athletics during my teenage years. After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in Psychology, I was living out my childhood dream as a soccer goalkeeper. In Africa, I took a prescribed medication to prevent malaria, and it built up toxic levels in my system. I was fighting for my life for a year, and it took ten years to recover. During this time, my life was transformed in the deepest ways: identity, faith, mindset, habits, career, and relationships. The greatest blessings and growth in life can emerge from the worst situations. This is the grace of God, and the hope I want to spread. The pain in my journey has fueled a purpose in my heart to see more people experience an abundant life. After denying God's existence throughout my childhood, I never anticipated deciding to follow Jesus.
