	danielle rond Hello!!! I’m Danielle and I am a sophomore at UC Davis majoring in Biomedical Engineering/Pre-med. I grew up riding horses on a little ranch. Next to horseback riding, my favorite sport is wrestling then water polo!!! I to cook/bake for people and run around like a crazy lunatic. I am extremely extroverted which means that I love hanging out with all the crazy kids at edge and I love being crazy with them. To summarize my life: food is good, friendships are great, and God is AMAZING!!!
	sarah giles Hello there! I'm Sarah Elizabeth Giles. I'm a junior at Sac City College and I'm loving it. I'm deciding between majoring in Art History and Sociology (maybe both?). I'm about to start my 10th year with UCC youth group. I started going to Next Gen when I was in 5th grade! I love rainbow and unicorns. I also love my poodle Sadie Mae. I travel whenever I can and love to bake, especially for Edge parties! I also love to hang out with my Edge girls so find me on facebook and send me a message so I can take you out to yogurt! Also, one time I fed a giraffe.

	charlotte davis Hello friends! I’m Charlotte, new to Davis from my hometown of San Diego. Did you guys know you have REAL COWS up here?? I moved to attend UC Davis as an English and Linguistics double major. I’m passionate about words, community, justice, shoe shopping, sunshine, picnics, and really long naps. I love to laugh, which is why Edge and I get along so well. I believe that we all have been given a chance to change the shape of the world we live in for the better, and I would like nothing more than to help inspire other’s to take that chance. I want to get to know each and every one of you before either of us graduates, so talk to me sometime at large group! I would love to hear about your life and plans. And if there happens to be frozen yogurt involved, so much the better!

	joseph mauch Hey guys! My name is Joseph and I am a senior at UC Davis majoring in Psychology. This is my first year working with Edge and I think it was a pretty fantastic decision on my part! I love playing guitar and piano, spending time with my awesome friends and family, running, reading, traveling, and doing anything outdoors. I’m also a big fan of hanging out with Jr. Highers and hope I get to do more of that this year. I have a habit of overusing the word “legit”, don’t try and stop me… it will probably just make it worse.

	liz meagor Hello there :) I just moved to Davis 2 months ago and I am loving it! I graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelors in Psychology. I am currently the Protege intern working with the junior high ministry and it has been awesome! I love to read, watch and play sports, and most importantly, I love EATING! I am always up for trying new food in all the downtown Davis restaurants. I am so excited for this year and all that we have to learn together!

	kyle thomsen Hola Everybody - me llamo Kyle Thomsen. I love sports, tight-rope walking, my MacBook, and my wife - Kelly (She's a total babe!). I lived in Mexico for a while and am always looking for opportunities to speak Spanish. Sometimes, I even give part of our Sunday Morning Edge Bible studies in Spansh. If you don't believe me, come check it out. Its true! If I wasn't an Edge leader, I'd probably be a Jamaican reggae international super-star. But I'd much rather hang out with my Edge peeps. You can find me on Facebook. Let's be friends. :o)

	bryan pellissier Hi! I'm Bryan! I graduated from UC Davis with a major in Agricultural and Environmental Education and a minor in Physics. I am married to my beautiful wif help to manage a farm in Dixon and eat about 15 apples a day I love working outside, cooking lots of food, and meeting new people! I've been skydiving before and can play the bass. And if I had money, I would travel more. Junior high was really awesome for me, so I want to make it just as awesome for Edge kids!

	emma shandy Hi!!! My name is Emma Jane Shandy, almost everyone calls me Emma, although I am Emma Jane to my British relatives...Who live in Scotland!!! My mom grew up in Edinburgh so I have had the awesome opportunity of spending almost every summer overseas, this has planted a love of travel and different cultures in me and one day I hope to motorcycle across India. I am currently a junior at UC Davis majoring in human development and biological sciences. I love baking food, especially pies or anything with pumpkin, and feeding people; I think shared meals are one of the greatest ways to build community. I am so excited for this year at EDGE and am stoked to get to spend time with awesome junior highers!

	stephanie alpert Hey! My name is Steph! I have been an Edge leader for 2 years and am SO excited to see what's in store for my 3rd year! Some of my favorite things are coffee, magazines, coffee shops, the San Francisco Giants, sunshine, swimming pools, family, friends, vacations, hula hooping, bike rides, journaling, and looking at old pictures! Another one of my favorite things is hanging out with cool junior highers like YOU! I can't wait to see how God works in this community this year!

	you This could be you! You are the coolest person like all the people above. You love kids. You have a passion to serve God and to live out His word everyday. And, I must say, you're the Man! Or the Woah-man! No offense people by the following name: Man; Woah-man; and Manwoahman.
