  • Young people are the now and the next generation of leaders, visionaries, and world-changers. Youth carry so much passion, creativity, boldness, and dynamic energy. They see the world differently. They ask real questions and are not afraid to challenge ideas, but they are often overlooked. Working in youth ministries gives me the opportunity to meet them exactly where they are, in their doubts, their struggles, their humor, their questions, and to walk with them, listen to them and encourage them as they discover their identity and purpose in Christ. Youth ministries is planting seeds of truth that will grow into lifelong faith. It’s helping them recognize that God’s Spirit is already moving in them, and that their voice, gifts, and leadership matters right now.

  • I love food! My favorite food is definitely something from the Caribbean.  One day it's saltfish and ground provision in a coconut curry sauce & the next it's oxtail with rice & peas, plantain, and baked macaroni. Either way, it's something delicious. My favorite hobby is reading- give me a good book and I'm lost for hours.

  • Fun fact - I love to travel. I aspire to go to as many countries as I can & definitely to every continent (including Antarctica)!
