A hope for your FVM year: “As a FVM I am hopeful to spread the spirit of St Francis to the community. I aspire to have all of our guests feel as if they belong to the St Francis Inn family. This way they feel open to share the love and compassion to others in the neighborhood.”

Fun Fact: “I am a former professional ballet dancer, I started dancing when I was 3, got my first contract at 18, and retired 7 years into my professional career.”

A hope for your FVM year: “I hope to gain a true “servant’s heart” this year, because in the past I have not always invested my time and energy in service of others. I also look forward to navigating living in community, since I’m generally an independent person.”
