About Me

Well. I am an official graduate of North Central University! I am now a literacy specialist at Riverview Elementary School in W. St. Paul, MN and love my job so much. I am also a grad student right now working on my M.Ed in Literacy. It is what I love to do. It is a great career.My little sister Christine just recently graduated from high school on June 1st and I am so proud of her for what she has done. Other than that things are grand in my life and I am in awe daily by what God has done in my life!

My Interests

YOUTH! Need I say more? I LOVE being in the Youth Dept. as an Interdisciplinary Studies Major! After being in the Secondary Education dept. at NCU and Concordia Univ. in St. Paul, I realized it was not the place for me! I am currently a youth worker right now, my major goal is to become a Youth Pastor or Youth Director in a church. I love working with crazy freshmen. It gives me a passion to continue in Youth Minihstry. I also love basketball, intramural football, being in student leadership, music, hanging out, coffee. I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that is what I live for on a daily basis! It gives me a reason to live! I also love my fiancee for what he has done for me to support my dreams!!! l also love working with people with developmental disabilities.
