Why I work in Youth Ministry: I love making an impact and bringing the faith to the next generation of the Church.

About Me:  I've lived in the area my whole life, attending Corpus Christi School (St Anthony's) and Bishop O'Connell High School (go Knights!). A friend brought me to STM's Youth Group, I hung out, went on retreats and eventually WorkCamp. I volunteered as an adult at WorkCamp in 2016 and the rest is history-here I am! When I'm not working you'll catch me building with LEGO bricks, reading sci-fi/fantasy books, watching superhero movies or hiking/biking a trail.
