As an architecture student at Auburn Universtiy, Sarah first discovered Engineering Ministries International (eMi), a Christian organization that utilizes the skills and education of architects and other design professionals.  During the summer of 2002 she interned with eMi and helped design an addition to an orphanage in Guatemala.  Over the years, God has increased her desire to share the hope and love of Christ through the practical skills she received as an architect.  Building on her internship with eMi, she volunteered on short project trips to design a school in Kazakhstan, a clinic in Kenya, and a clinic/rescue center in Haiti.  These short-term trips were instrumental in leading her to envision her life as a full-time staff architect with eMi.  After much prayer and God's work in her heart, she decided to follow God's calling and was accepted as a staff architect with the eMi East Africa located in Kampala, Uganda.  In addition to leading short-term project teams and providing internships, some major areas of focus for the staff are construction management and in-house projects.  Sarah left for Uganda in September of 2011 and is under a 3 year commitment with eMi.
