What advice or encouragement would you give to younger students at Westminster?
You will treasure the friendships that you make at Westminster both in your own grade and the grades around you. Be intentional in reaching out to people and building relationships, in house, sports, or whatever opportunity you have and encourage younger students- they look up to you! 

Please share a funny memory or highlight from your time at Westminster:
In 10th grade we had protocol in the WA gym and we did the polka which was chaotic and absolutely amazing! To this day it is my favorite protocol dance – I hope they bring it back! 

Senior Thesis Title: 
Women in Pastoral Leadership

Senior Thesis Statement: 
Women should be given the opportunity and encouranged to serve in the position of a pastor. 

Brief Description of Senior Thesis: 
The ability of women to assume this role is not explicitly prohibited in Scripture or described as a sin, but rather, there are numerous examples of divinely appointed female leaders in the Bible. Because of this, I believe that Paul’s ban on female leadership was for specific churches under specific circumstances, and not intended to be a universal mandate for all times.

Plans: To attend Liberty University

Favorite Bible Verse: 
“…and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength’.”  Nehemiah 8:10

Prayer Request: 
Please pray for my transition into this new season of life as I will be far from home, that He would bless my time, friendships, and work. Also pray for my sweet family and siblings!
