Summary

Having grown up in the church all of my life, I have had a front seat experience of ministry in all kinds of settings. I have a passion for all ages but my heart is with youth. I have had many opportunities to step up whilst at my home church and have grown immensely in my abilities especially in youth ministry. I have an easy going personality and great listening skills that enable me to implement things that I am learning. I try to be relatable and do my best at setting an example of how the Christian life should be lived whilst expressing joy in doing so.

I have had many opportunities that have helped my growth in worship, technology, mentorship, and community building techniques.
