Expert Profile: Alissa

Expertise:  I can answer a range of questions on Christianity, how to respond to friends, peer pressure, sex, drugs, alcohol, the Bible, cutting, abuse, and other issues that pertain to teenagers. I don't have all the answers, however, and may not be able to answer specific doctrinal or theological questions. I'll try my best, however, to give a biblical view but be honest when I don't have a clue.

Experience in the area
I've worked with teenagers on many different levels. I've been an assistant youth pastor, youth pastor over girls, currently leading a group of ninth grade girls at church in Bible study, and I work at Move Ministries as the Women's Ministry Executive. I focus on the issues of young women and create conferences around these issues.

Move Ministries

Education/Credentials
I have my Bachelor's in psychology and am currently working on my Master's in counseling. In my undergraduate work, I also had to take many biblical classes, because I was at a Christian university.
