Her hobbies include reading and crochet.
Sarah completed her internship practicum in our office in the summer of 2020, and our staff was immediately impressed with her servant’s heart and attention to detail. We are excited to have her join the World Wide family, and know she will be a blessing to each of you as you get to know her! You can reach her at [email protected].
We are also pleased to introduce Nikayla Ring. Nikayla will join us from June 3 to September 13 to assist us during our staff transitions.
