I grew up in a loving and close family. My parents worked hard—my mom was a teacher at my school, and my dad had a job at a local office. We lived in a rented house for nine years before moving into our own home, which was a very happy moment for us. Things got hard during the COVID-19 pandemic when my dad lost his job. But the hardest time came in 2024 when he passed away suddenly. It was a deep loss that changed everything for me.

During that painful time, I felt God’s presence in a new way. I had always known about Jesus, but now I truly met Him. He gave me comfort and strength when I needed it most. I started reading the Bible more, praying every day, and asking God to guide my life. Through Young Life, I found friends and leaders who helped me grow in faith and learn how to serve others. I began to see my faith not just as something I was taught, but as something real and personal.

Now I’m studying Computer Science through the Developing Global Leaders program. I want to use technology to help others and share the love of Jesus, especially with young people. My dream is to be a servant leader—someone who leads with kindness, listens well, and helps others feel seen and supported. I believe God can use my story and my skills to make a difference.
