­Sarah Montoya ­graduated with a Master's of Divinity from Truett at Baylor University. She will jump on a plane in heartbeat; eat anything that doesn't have gluten in it; lose hours of time talking with friends. When she is the best version of herself she is an artist and on a revolutionary journey with God; other times she is just trying to figure life out one step at a time. Her work with ReIMAGINE focuses on student groups and workshops.
