About Ashtyn
I am a Nebraska native who found herself moving to Richmond during the summer of 2019. After graduating college with a degree in Family Studies, I wasn't sure what my next steps would be. This uncertainty led me to apply (and get accepted) to be a PCUSA Young Adult Volunteer (YAV). During my volunteer year, I lived in New Orleans with six other YAVs where I worked for an adult education program. That year transformed me in more ways than I could have imagined and I am still finding myself reflecting on my experiences in the Big Easy. If it wasn't for this volunteer year, I wouldn't be where I am today - starting my third year of seminary. I'm not sure where God will lead me once I graduate, but I am grateful to be surrounded by people who support me and encourage me to become the best version of myself.During my internship with FPC, I will be primarily working with the fourth and fifth graders by leading their small groups on Sunday afternoons/evenings. I am beyond excited to get to know this group of children as well as everyone else in the congregation. Living through a pandemic has reminded me just how much I genuinely enjoy meeting people and connecting with them. We all have our own stories to tell and I hope I have the opportunity to hear many stories this year!
