Humility . Servant Leadership . Justice . Love
I am a walking paradox as exemplified in my servant leadership style. I am strong enough to be humble, wise enough to admit my mistakes, and driven enough to serve.
My passion is seeing others find their passion. I want to help others find their passions in a faith and service context. I hope to connect students to transformative faith-based and service opportunities. I am interested in campus ministry and higher education as tools of transformation and social justice.
I love presenting and influencing faith in the contemporary 21st century world. I take a modern approach to ministry as I enjoy using social media, music and multimedia as tools for building a faith community among young people. I am willing to start the difficult faith conversations that many people avoid.
Currently I am a senior studying Theology at Loyola University Chicago. As I near graduation, I am considering a year of service after graduation. I am interested in urban education, student affairs and ministry. I aspire to work in campus ministry connecting students to faith and service opportunities. I think a year of service will give me time to gain valuable experience and to grow in a new capacity before attending graduate school. After a year or two of service, I hope to complete a post-graduate program in theology or pastoral ministry.
I am originally from Greenwood, IN, where I grew up with my parents and older sister. I like to think of Loyola and Chicago as a second home now. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, singing and volunteering.
The proof of love is in the works.
Where love exists, it works great things.
When it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.
-Pope Gregory the Great
