I started going to Trinity Lutheran Church in 2019 as a college freshman at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livinglutheran.org\/2022\/04\/transformations-in-elca-colleges-and-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concordia College<\/a>\u00a0[in Moorhead, Minn.]. Currently, I serve on the hospitality team for Trinity. I usher and read Scripture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This involvement is<\/strong>\u00a0very important to me because there is nothing else that gives me more purpose than serving the Lord and being a servant to my local congregation. This also gives me peace and joy. Every second I spend in church makes me so happy that I could never trade these moments with anything else in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I graduated\u00a0<\/strong>from Concordia this year with a major in biology\u2014premed\u2014minoring in religion and environmental and sustainability studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was always fascinated with<\/strong>\u00a0science and wanted to know more about human bodies and how to heal and restore them using different biological procedures and scientific findings. This passion drew me close to biology. But as I was learning this, I realized the importance of faith when it comes to healing and restoring, so my minor in religion was a complement to biology and an approach to healing the whole body, not just the physical [aspect]. And who said religion and science don\u2019t go together?<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the same spirit<\/strong>\u00a0of healing and restoring comes the environmental issue. As we all know, our environment is changing, our climate is changing\u2014and these changes are not necessarily the best changes. Knowing and acknowledging this drove me into environmental and sustainability studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All these areas of study<\/strong>, to me, were just one big picture addressing one thing, which is healing\u2014healing the body, the soul and our world. I love how these different areas of studies have shaped me and made me more informed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elca.org\/our-work\/global-mission\/international-leaders\/international-women-leaders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Women Leaders<\/a>\u00a0[IWL] program was<\/strong>\u00a0the best thing that has ever happened to me. IWL allowed me to experience education from a whole different angle. It gave me choices and opportunities that I wouldn\u2019t have had if I was not in the program. I have had the greatest experience in the program; I got introduced to opportunities and connections that I cherish dearly.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livinglutheran.org\/2023\/10\/just-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IWL<\/a>\u00a0helped me to understand my leadership roles and envision what I can do as a leader in my community and the world at large. It opened doors and placed me in spaces I would have never dreamt of. Every time I introduce myself as an IWL scholar, things just sparkle, and I am forever grateful for this program<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>All my areas of study\u00a0were just one big picture addressing one thing, which is healing\u2014healing the body, the soul and our world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Serving on the logistics team for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livinglutheran.org\/tag\/elca-youth-gathering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 Youth Gathering<\/a>\u00a0was\u00a0<\/strong>eye-opening. I learned a lot about myself as a leader regarding areas that I need some improvement in and areas that I\u2019m really good at. In general, serving the Youth Gathering was a blessing. To witness over 16,000 Lutheran youth come together to praise, worship, learn, serve and be who they were created to be was just phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My role as a medical laboratory technician<\/strong>\u00a0entails multitasking, ensuring patients\u2019 safety, properly explaining details of procedures to patients in a clear way of understanding, performing intravenous blood draws, efficiently handling patient specimens in a proper manner to ensure non-contamination for transportation and running different tests in proper equipment. All this is in order to make a healthy difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m enrolled at North Dakota State University<\/strong>\u00a0in a Master of Public Health program. My desire for health care justice is what drew me close to public health. It is my hope to see communities being able to access the best medical care they need and being well-informed about their health, regardless of where they are or who they are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I plan to use my master\u2019s degree to<\/strong>\u00a0influence the health care system and work to create policies that will give health care access to marginalized communities. [I also want to] come up with projects that will inform communities about determinants of health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I hope to<\/strong>\u00a0live my faith through my vocation by serving with love, justice, grace and honesty to all. I hope to be a helping hand and a voice to those around me and to shine the light of Christ to the lives of people I get to interact with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In my free time, I<\/strong>\u00a0practice Aikido, which is a Japanese martial art, play drums and do puzzles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve witnessed God\u2019s presence in my life through<\/strong>\u00a0my journey to the U.S., the doors that God opened when I thought they were closed, and the opportunities that God gave me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I pray<\/strong>, especially in this season, that the light of Christ will shine on every land and that the peace of the Lord will prevail on earth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grace is<\/strong>\u00a0an undeserving favor from God, not because of what I did or what I did not [do] but just pure favor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m a Lutheran because\u00a0<\/strong>I continue to believe that I am saved by grace alone, through faith in Jesus and nothing else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is cross-posted from Living Lutheran.
