I love working for the CCO because of its vision and purpose. I have a passion for working with college students. The CCO’s core purpose of “transforming college students to transform the world” lines up with this passion. I believe that college students have the potential to transform the world, and I love coming alongside them to help ignite their God-given passions and gifts that they might make a difference in the world.
I love being in a place with students where I can encourage them to deepen their personal relationships with Christ and challenge them to integrate their faith into all areas of life. It is my desire to help ignite and cast a vision for them to transform our culture and in turn, transform the world.
I also love working for the CCO because of the unique opportunities provided to work in cooperative partnerships. By working with University of Pittsburgh student athletes, I am a part of their everyday lives. I have a context for building relationships with them in a natural way that meets them where they are.
