Why I work in Youth Ministry
When I was 21 I lived a retreat that changed my life. My experience through this retreat made me want to share the love of Christ with everyone, especially teens. I became involved in my local parish’s youth ministry program and I’ve been working in ministry ever since.
About Me
I was born in Arizona, but was raised in Southern California. I have lived a third of my life in California, a third in Arizona, and a third in Virginia with a couple of other states in between. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Franciscan University of Steubenville in Theology and Spanish. I have a younger brother who is married and I love hanging out with my friends. I am a big fan of strawberries, butterflies, and the color blue. My hope and prayer is to get to heaven.
