I teach Confirmation classes for all high school youth, 9th-12th grade. I also lead youth groups for middle school and high school students on Sundays. Our young adult group has just begun and I am excited to be leading that as well. I have been working in ministry for six years and this will be my third year at Sacred Heart. Youth ministry is my passion, because I first fell in love with the Catholic Church at the age of 14, because of youth ministry. I was born and raised in Southern California, but I came to Oregon at 18, to attend the University of Oregon. I fell in love with the state and the Catholic community here and have stayed ever since. I love reading theology, listening to podcasts, and laughing at memes. Besides Jesus, my number 1 love is Los Angeles, Dodgers baseball.
