I have worked in ministry for my entire professional life, starting in youth ministry and moving into global ministry. While working at my church as the youth administrator I was invited to be a leader on a student missions trip to Sopron, Hungary to take care of children while their parents were attending a conference. This conference turned out to be Connect for Communitas. I really enjoyed the staff and the mission and God was stirring something inside me. The following summer I returned with more high school students to Connect and that sealed the deal for me. I joined Communitas staff part time on the training team, while also leading Serve the City in Baltimore, MD. I am now working full time at a nonprofit in Baltimore who is weaving a new social fabric while supporting young people within the city and also supporting the Training Team at Communitas through facilitating our Equip training for new members of the Communitas staff. Karl, my husband, jumps in where he can to support, but he knew what he was in for since we’ve known each other since elementary school!
