Summary
I have spent the majority of my life having a clear passion for working with young people. It began when I was in a Big Brothers/Big Sisters program as a youth- aged student in church. When I was a little older I began babysitting, graduated high school, and went onto pursue the education to begin my dream career- educating and building relationships with young people. My dream came true, threw me a few curve balls, and led me to where I am now to serving in the church as someone who plans and implements curriculum (a different kind) and discipline to young people within the church.
