Norely (like saying "not really" fast) was born in California but raised in Magnolia, Texas, where she grew up learning about Jesus. However, it wasn't until her first year of college at the University of Texas that she fully understood who Christ was and experienced his protective love for her. She spent her time in college ministering to her peers as a college YL leader and learning more about His character. After graduating from UT, Norely started a Residency with The Well to pursue her desire to be in ministry and her passion for the nations.

Starting the position as College Coordinator is a full-circle answer to prayers, as Norely went to UT after hearing the Lord tell her she was to minister to college students.
