What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to engage with students and contribute to their growth in a supportive environment.

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry Studies from Mississippi College, where I also minored in Psychology. My educational background has equipped me with a solid foundation in both spiritual and psychological principles, allowing me to connect with students on multiple levels. I am currently a Teaching Assistant at Workman Middle School, where I support teachers and help students succeed academically.

My experience as a Student Ministry Resident at Valleydale Baptist Church involved planning engaging weekly curriculums and organizing events that fostered community among students. I actively participated in school functions to build relationships with students outside of church, enhancing their overall experience. Additionally, my internships at Hillcrest Baptist Church and Trace Ridge Baptist Church allowed me to develop my public speaking skills and manage youth ministry budgets effectively, ensuring that events were both impactful and well-organized.
