I was born in Long Beach, CA but grew up in Phoenix, AZ. I’m a cradle Catholic but didn’t start getting into my faith until after high school. I served with NET ministries ’11-’12, traveling across the USA putting on retreats for middle and high school teens. Through NET, I felt God’s call to full-time youth ministry. Several years later, I’m still in the trenches. I’m an avid reader and movie-watcher, and a huge advocate for Vitamin T (Tacos, Tamales, and Tortas). I’m happiest when I combine hobbies, Tolkien, and tacos.
