History/Resume
Active in Youth Ministry since: 2020
In current position since: 2024
Why I work in Youth Ministry:I want as many people as possible to know Jesus and His love for them!
About Me: I grew up in a small town in Maryland and after two years of college, I went on to serve as a missionary with NET Ministries. While working for NET I got to travel around the US telling teens about Jesus and even got to do the same in Scotland! I eventually moved to Virginia so that I could be closer to family and have been working at Saint Leo the Great ever since.
