Paid Position: Middle School Youth Leader and Custodian at Cedar Street Mennonite Church, Chambersburg, PA, from 2008 to 2012

Other Pertinent Experiences: In 2006, I worked with Youth with a Mission while attending a Discipleship Training School in New Castle, NSW, Australia. We trained in festival ministry, which included work in the Gold Coast, Australia, and Mazatlán, Mexico. We partnered with Red Frogs and Hotel Chaplain Organization for Schoolies (Spring Break in Australia). Where I worked with a large team responding to dispatch calls from Emergency Operation Center.   I also volunteered in Mexico, collaborating with local ministries to serve during the Carnival festival and the Caribbean Baseball Series in 2006. My goal has always been to find ways to serve people outside of church walls.
