Scott and Marcie consistently encouraged students to pursue ministry opportunities. Sitting at my office desk in the winter of 2018 frustrated and tired of the grind from selling, I opened Google and began searching for seminary options. In 2015, for Scott and Marcie Wright’s going away party, someone wanted to show the Wrights their impact, asking those in attendance who are in ministry to please stand up. I continue to maintain my various insurance licenses, though it is no longer a primary means of income. I helped these medical practices seek ways to capture more revenue, adding to their already successful practice.Īfter a few years of consulting, I moved back into insurance. Through the help of Matt Hoffmann (a current physician I initially met through The Wesley in spring of 2003), I became a consultant in east Texas and north Louisiana assisting physicians and medical groups as they transitioned regarding the changes in the Affordable Care Act. However, in 2013, I moved into a consultant role within healthcare operating out of a company in Jackson, Mississippi. I began a career in insurance after my time at Louisiana Tech and The Wesley.
Admittedly, I do rekindle that dream every now and then, but no, I am not coaching. I guess many of you who knew me back then might guess coaching football. According to Scott, I became the first freshman to serve on the Leadership team during his time as director of The Wesley. In the winter of 2003, Scott Wright approached me to be on the Wesley Leadership team beginning in the spring of 2003. I was using this time to mold myself into a coach, thinking that would become my track in life. That fall, I became intricately involved with intramurals at The Wesley coaching both guys' and girls’ flag football and guys' and girls’ softball for the next few years. Later, both asked me to be a part of their wedding party at their respective weddings. Renee’s future husband, Ken Atkins, and his dear friend Chad Wages began to mentor me. Renee’ (Murray) Atkins's cooking produced a line that backed out the door for Laid Back Lunch. I was in Dan and Anna Rasmussen’s small group. Within a few weeks from my conversation with Brittany, I was headfirst into just about everything at Wesley. Being naturally shy and timid, my time at The Wesley helped mold me into a more outgoing and communicative person. It is hard to not recall memories from my college days that do not directly or indirectly involve The Wesley Foundation. I distinctly remember asking her that question to test the waters, seeing if I was behind the curve for Methodist freshmen I knew from the Louisiana Conference. In my spare time, I love to read, write, knit, go to the movies, share good food with friends, find the best sales on clothes, cheer for the Washington Capitals and Nashville Predators, and care for those in my community.While sitting in psychology class two weeks into my first quarter at Louisiana Tech in fall of 2002, I asked Brittany (Watts) Burnett if she had been to The Wesley Foundation yet? To that point I had not gone. You’ll find me planning youth events, leading Bible studies, encouraging prayer, and directing our communicative efforts. As Assistant Director of Youth and Discipleship at Sycamore, it is a blessing to see how God is working in and through the lives of our middle and high school students. It is an unexpected, yet beautiful gift to be back in the place where I was raised. I became a Young Life Leader at Warwick High School, held several church-based internships in North Carolina and Virginia, and consistently pursued students with the hope that through a friendship, they would hear and believe the Gospel.
It was during my time as a CNU Captain that I was supported by a Christ-centered community of friends and truly found my rhythm with the Lord. in History and a minor in Communications Studies from Christopher Newport University. I grew up in Midlothian, attended Midlothian High School, and received a B.A.
