Expertise:  I wish to help young people like myself better understand and navigate their own lives, regardless of what the issue may be. I have extensive experience with college life and various aspects of teen drama, and have served as a valuable advisor to many around me. While my abilities are not centered around he said/she said situations, I will endeavour to work with each inquirer to better his or her knowledge of him- or herself, and to help solve any problems from an empathizing, understanding, non-judgmental viewpoint. I recognize that life as a Christian teenager is not the easiest thing in the world, but I want to help believers make sense of the world in which we live--as a supporter, and not merely a judge. I particularly wish to inspire individual thought and free thinking amidst those who come to me, as these skills and behaviors can potentially alter one's entire perception of the world--often for the better. I sincerely love and respect those who come to me to work together to find answers: their bravery in asking questions will be responded to with care and compassion.

Experience in the area
I have been a college student for several years and have worked with many friends and companions regarding life issues, ethical decisions, Biblical learning, and other miscellaneous helps. I have also been a Vacation Bible School counselor, along with a Sunday School teacher and a secular camp counselor, and thus have extensive experience working with youth towards proactive goals. I have an active, creative mind and always wish to inspire others towards clearer thinking and self-examination.
