Meet Bree

Hi there!

I’ve known the name of Jesus as long as I’ve known my own name. I am so blessed to have
been born and raised in a loving, Christian home in Southern California. At a very young age, I
accepted Christ and was later baptized when I was 8 years old at Pirates Cove in Laguna
Beach. Until I was in high school, I was more concerned with acting “good” than truly following
Christ and allowing His righteousness to cover me. When I was 16 years old At my church’s
summer camp, God completely opened my mind to the power of a life dependent on Christ and
not on my own works. God quickly began to transform my life, showing me how desperately I
needed to have an authentic relationship with him.

The more I enjoyed my walk with Jesus, the more I wanted to serve Him. In response to the
work God was doing in my heart, I started serving in the middle school ministry at my church
and led a Bible study after school. I quickly grew a love for all things ministry, having an
overwhelming excitement to pour into the people around me. I attended college at Biola
University, where God made it clear that I was to work in full-time ministry. When my parents
and siblings decided to move to Texas in 2019, I joined the move and soon after started working
in student ministry at Prestonwood Baptist Church. In 2024, I graduated from Southwestern
Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Christian Education. I am beyond excited to be a part of
Watermark, a church I have loved and admired for years. Jesus’ heart is so clearly displayed
through the members here, and I am thankful to join the work God is clearly doing!

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, my sweet dog, Ollie, and friends! I enjoy
doing anything that involves being outside, trying new things, & making memories! I’m quite the
extrovert and always in the mood to make new friends, so be sure to say hi on a Sunday!
