Summary
Compassionate and service-driven leader seeking a Youth Minister position where I can inspire, mentor, and support young people in their faith and personal growth. I bring two years of volunteer experience at a youth center, building meaningful relationships with youth, assisting with programs, and creating a positive, encouraging environment. My leadership and management experience in the U.S. Navy strengthened my ability to lead teams, communicate effectively, and remain calm under pressure. As the owner and operator of a construction business, I have developed strong organizational, budgeting, project management, and problem-solving skills. I am committed to serving others, fostering spiritual growth, and helping young people develop a lasting relationship with Christ.
