As the director of meetings and events, I work with the NFCYM staff and project teams to vision, plan, implement, and evaluate the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), National Conference on Catholic Youth Ministry (NCCYM), and Annual Membership Meeting (AMM).

Q3. WHY DO YOU WORK FOR NFCYM?

I have been with NFCYM since 2001. While I am not a theologian or youth minister, NFCYM allows me to use my skills to make sure other generations have the same opportunities I had as a high school student to deepen and practice my faith.

My top five Clifton Strengths are: Maximizer, Adaptability, Communication, Input, and Woo.

I like working with others so that one program, resource, meeting, or event can achieve more than one goal in a coherent way.
