Job at Thrive: Leadership Summit Director

What’s your favorite part of living in
Being right where God wants me to be, doing what He wants me to be doing.
What do you like best about your job?
Working with the coaches who are learning their potential in Christ; seeing them grab hold of what God has created them to do and then helping them share Jesus Christ with other potential leaders. And watching the students learn that they are somebody in Christ.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Chillin’ = sleeping, reading, baths, scenic drives, watching sports, relaxing to a movie, being by myself, laughing with others…or by myself! Ha!
What do you miss most from home?
Warm weather all day long all year round…
What’s playing on your iPod these days?
Country music – Along God’s great countryside of rolling hills, rocky mountains, and vast fields of South Africa, country music just seems to fit. Plus it makes me feel good. You might also hear some Hawaiian hits to remind me of home and place me back in warm, summer days…
What’s a movie you can watch over and over?
Dirty Dancing and The Holiday
Share something unique about yourself.
I think it would be fun to live in a musical. Sometimes I pretend I do!
