Why do you choose to work at Legacy?

My passion is helping students walk through the college admissions process while pointing them towards the Creator who has a plan for them. I want them to understand they were created with gifts and skills and at Legacy I am provided with the opportunity to talk through these concepts along with the minutia of the details of the application process.

What is your favorite scripture? Why?

Psalms 71:14 s for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.

This verse encourages me in the present and future tense that hope is always there and God is worthy of praise regardless of circumstances.
