Currently a Raliegh Fellow 26' in Raleigh, NC. Growing in community and faith along with working a 8-5 part time job with a faith-based mentor. This program is an intense 9 months but will help me build my foundations in becoming an adult as well as, forming my spiritual faith into my future life.

  • To all the fellows this year, I genuinely can’t believe how fast the time has gone. It feels like just yesterday we were all stepping into something new, not really knowing what to expect, and now we’re standing at the edge of the end of it. It’s strange how time works like that, slow in…

  • Five weeks. That’s all we have left in this program. Guys, what a time it has been. Who would’ve thought these months would fly by so quickly? Now that it’s spring, I’ve found myself in awe of how green everything is becoming. Getting off work while it’s still light out, actual sunlight, feels like a…

  • 10 weeks until fellow ends. 10 weeks!! When Ashley said this at our round table this past Wednesday, I couldn’t believe the words coming from her mouth. I grazed my eyes around the room, deeply looking at every fellow. A smile took up upon my face as I recounted everything we did this past year.…

  • I can’t believe January has already slipped away. It feels unreal how quickly time moves—one moment it’s New Year’s Day, and the next the month is already behind us. Time really does fly when life is full, meaningful, and moving. We began the year in Nicaragua, spending a week at a breathtaking compound that I…

  • It’s not that I hadn’t forgotten to post but that I was having a hard time trying to figure out what I was going to write. So much has happened in the last month that I felt it was best to wait and compile all the memories into one post. Oct 17-19 Windy Gap It…

  • This week has been both hard and beautiful — a mix of failure and grace — and yet, looking back, I can honestly say it was amazing overall. There were moments at work when I failed more times than I’d like to admit. But even in those moments, I felt God teaching me how to…

  • “Washing waves reflect my soul as light shines upon me, oh how I sing a song of joy to God who blesses thee. He guides my boat across the lake to a destination unknown, he is my compass and my purpose, surely, he will lead me home.” – Tyler Brantley My apologies for not getting…

  • This week marked the beginning of the Raleigh Fellows Program, and I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. On Tuesday morning, I headed to meet the other fellows at Apostle of Raleigh, the church hosting our program. I had moved in with my host family…

  • 1 week till the fellowship… When I think back to the summer of 2025, I can’t help but wonder why I was called out to Colorado in the first place. At the time, I had just graduated from college and was standing at a crossroads between the familiar comfort of home and the unknown stretch…

  • 3 Weeks till the Fellowship Starts…. My morning started way earlier than usual—like 3:30 a.m. early. The kind of early where the world is still wrapped in darkness and your body asks, “Why are we doing this?” I hadn’t slept much the night before, but not from worry—just pure excitement. By 4:20 a.m., after a…
