Hey there! I‘m Liz, the SERVE intern this year. I hail from Des Moines, Iowa (it’s cooler than you think, I promise) and am currently a junior studying Theology and Social Work at Saint Louis University. I spent the last semester in Manila, Philippines through the Casa Bayanihan program through the University of San Francisco, with pillars in academics, spirituality, community, and accompaniment. Transitioning back to SLU has been aided through a position as the Social Justice Intern in Campus Ministry, putting on events and bringing people together to discuss issues of social justice around campus and in the St. Louis area. When I’m not doing campus ministry-related activities, you can find me biking long distances, kayaking, baking for friends, drinking Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, or reading nerdy theology texts.
