About Me

Hello! I’m Emily.

If you’re here, you probably already knew that - so I’d love to tell you a few things you might not know about me!

I have five younger siblings - four brothers and one sister. I love working out in the form of pilates and barre classes. I eat dinner at ten o’clock most nights and am always more than up for a sweet treat (preferably ice cream). I was homeschooled all through elementary and high school. I adore reading, and when my family was preparing to move across the country during my eighth-grade year, my parents actually had to lock up my books because I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading long enough to pack them. I’ve moved nine times and been a dancer for fourteen years.

But the most significant part of my life is, without question, my relationship with Jesus. Growing up in a Christian home with parents whose priority was always “God first,” I truly don’t know what life looks like without Him. As a child, I felt a calling to missions, and that calling has led me to Thailand and El Salvador - and this January, to South Africa for four months.

In this season of waiting and preparation, I’m learning to trust God’s timing, rest in His peace, and lean into whatever He’s teaching me next.

If you’d like to read more about my story, you can find my testimony here, and if you’re curious about my upcoming trip to South Africa, I’d love for you to read that entry too!
