Autobiography

My passion is youth ministry and I have been involved in and around it for the last ten years. I was involved in a youth ministry for two years before deciding to come to Providence to increase my knowledge in the field. In 2004, I graduated with my B.A. in Youth Leadership. Despite many trials, I have never doubted my call to be involved in the lives of youth. My passion for youth ministry has recently been channeled into building up leaders who are able to show Christ through their lives and their ministries so that students can come to know him in a saving relationship and begin to grow into maturing disciples.

I currently divide my time between being a full-time mom to my two-year-old son, Malakai, a full-time wife to my husband, Vergil, a part-time Web Editor for Providence, an adjunct facutly for the same and a volunteer elder at my church, Good News Fellowship.
