I am a missionary kid, born and raised in Quito, Ecuador. As a writer, third-culture kid, and proud diabetic, I pursue personal growth and knowledge in order to live well, for Christ. My dream is to go back home and teach math at an international school in Quito, because it is in daily, well-gardened relationships with my friends and teachers there that I grew into the person I am. I want to offer the same kinds of relationships to others, and help them to grow into true mental and relational maturity.
