- Kaitlan
  I have been involved in catholic ministry throughout my life attending Catholic elementary and high schools as well The Catholic University of America, receiving a BSN in Nursing. My husband Migueland I hope to create a young adult community that helps blend community and faith. I have a passion for volunteer and service so I strive to connect our YA! with the community through volunteer events in the area. My interests include traveling, visiting National Parks, Irish dance, and hot yoga.

  Born in the city of Santa Clarita and currently working in the Airline industry. I was born and raised Catholic but didn’t feel the need to build a relationship with God until I was a young adult. Ever since then across the country I’ve helped organize retreats, give talks, and hopefully helped both Youth and Young adults discover and build a connection with Christ. After church you can usually find me going on a hike, playing video games, or helping family or friends with building computers and keyboards while trying to find some good food.

  I’ve been active in parish ministry since I was a teen. To me there is nothing more rich and beautiful than the Catholic faith. I love to help youth and young adults nurture their connection to God and Church! I worked in finance and securities regulation for over 25 years and now my main gig is caring for my family including my daughter who attends SFX middle school. I have two shar peis (the dogs with wrinkly face) and my favorite show is “The Chosen”… “The Mandalorian” is a close 2nd!
