I hope to empower others to use their strengths to impact the world. It feels great to know that the connections I have built in Lutheran Campus Ministry have continued outside our student ministry. The leadership skills I have gained from my participation will serve as a stepping stone for leadership positions I acquire in the future.

The variety of subjects taught at Success Saturday gave me, an international student, a glance of the impressive breadth of knowledge of secondary education in US. I am fortunate to call many of the students I tutored or mentored, and folks who I knew through LCM my closest friends. I will forever cherish the memories at LCM Syracuse.

As a person preparing for a life of ministry, I cherish the spiritual nourishment that I partake at the Sunday service and Bible studies. Community outreach programs initiated by LCM have greatly enhanced my confidence as an educator.

Growing up in Utica, I am blessed to have an excellent biological family, and a great Church family. At Syracuse, I have found a wonderful Church family at my home away from home.  This experience has shaped my outlook on helping others and serving those in the community who are in need. I am incredibly excited to experience my remaining years at SU!
