About Me: I am originally from Newport News, VA, but I am so excited to be a part of the northern Virginia community now. I always loved ministry, and was involved (both as a participant and a volunteer) since I was in middle school. After finishing a degree in Theatre Education at James Madison University, I moved to Ohio for two years to serve as a missionary with a Catholic organization called Damascus. We ran summer camps and retreats during the school year for middle and high schoolers. Now, I get to serve youth at Our Lady of Good Counsel!
