 Alli Sullivan is just out of high school and currently on her gap year in South Africa, waiting on God to see what’s next. There is no clear direction or career path staring her in the face, and no certifications or achievements to claim but is slowly (and very surely) building up momentum to do something exactly perfect for her. Her home awaits her in Minnesota, USA with her lovely parents and three boisterous older brothers.
