History/Resume
In current position since: April 2022
Active in Youth Ministry since: April 2022
Youth Ministry program includes: Our Middle School Ministry includes biweekly Middle School Mania nights where youth come together to make friends, have fun, and receive encouragement to have a relationship with Jesus. We also go on Fun Monthly Outings - it's a new, fun adventures every month! Starting Fall 2024, we are introducing Guys and Girls Ascend Middle School Small Groups. These small groups provide the much-needed atmosphere to develop close bonds with faith-centered friends and intentionally pursue friendship with Jesus on a deeper level. Our High School Ministry provides opportunity for community-building, formation, and fun at our weekly Sunday Night Life Teen event. Every week has a different theme and set of activities, creating a fun variety. Our High Schoolers can also delve deeper by being a member of Girls or Guys CLC, which creates the space to build closer friendships in a small group and receive more intentional formation. There's truly something for everyone!

Why I work in Youth Ministry: I want young people to know that the best life they could possibly live is one in relationship with the God who loves them, who has a beautiful plan for their life, and who is always seeking to draw close to them. I went through my deeper conversion in High School and as a result, those years are very special to me because that's when I made the decision to orient my life towards pursuing a relationship with Jesus.
About Me: I graduated from George Mason University with a degree in Human Development and Family Science knowing that I wanted to help families in some way. I am currently in a Master's program at Divine Mercy University studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am married to my wonderful husband and am so thankful for him joining me along for the ride in youth ministry!
