History/Resume

Active in Youth Ministry since:  2005 (volunteer) 2007 (1st job)
In current position since:  July 2011
Why I work in Youth Ministry: Two reasons: 1) My 'Yes' to the Lord lead me into this apostolate and has yet to lead me elsewhere so here I am  2) Seeing a young person begin to grasp the magnitude of God's goodness and love for them is awe-inspiring.  Whether it is a small moment or a big "ah-ha" moment, I love seeing young people know at the core of who they are that God loves them!
