She pursued that call as she attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Religion. During her undergraduate degree she served in various ministries including working with high school students, leading youth mission trips, and ministry to children in Guatemala. She earned her Master of Divinity from George W. Truett Theological Seminary in Waco. Most recently she served as the Student Life Minister in a Waco congregation.
