This is our story.

Before I met Alex, my husband, and before I became a mother to my children, Aimee & Ellias, I had already done more than most could say they’ve done at 26 years old. 

I had gotten my BA degree at UCLA majoring in Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting and minoring in French Language and Culture.

I had studied documentary analog film photography, fine arts, and French language in Paris, became fluent in French so that I could pursue my dreams of one day living in France.

I had travelled the world straight out of UCLA via The World Race: a year long Christian missions journey, partnering with non profit organizations on 5 different continents. Here’s the blog I wrote during my journey.

I had lived in the south of Spain as part of a Christian Leadership Community for a brief time.

I had applied and been accepted into a prestigious International Pastry School in Paris to pursue a career in pastry.

I had then apprenticed at various bakeries and pastry shops in Paris to advance and master my craft.

 . . . and yet.

I was on the brink of giving up on my life.
