Caitlin: “I was born and raised in Washington (State). After high school, I went to University of the Pacific- located in Stockton, California- to play softball. I am definitely a West Coast girl; but North Carolina is growing on me, or perhaps it’s just the humidity that is sticking. Now I am at NC State studying Lifespan Development in Psychology, with the ultimate goal of being a research psychologist. I enjoy fellowship over coffee and working out.”

Matthew was born and bred in Lagos, Nigeria. He is currently a second year mechanical engineering Ph.D. student at NC State. His love for kids, teenagers and youth is out of this world. He loves talking to young people on leadership and purpose. He enjoys gospel worship music and listening to anointed teachers of the Word of God on all aspects. For entertainment, he watches football (or soccer) and athletics track events.

Sean has been working towards his PhD in pure math. He grew up in the desert wastes of eastern Washington, which he much prefers to the humidity of North Carolina. Sean prefers to spend all of his time playing strategy board games, but concedes that some of the GCF meetings should be for Bible study. He also enjoys tennis, frisbee, and books of most kinds.

My name is Sophia, and despite having called North Carolina home for the past two years, my roots trace back to Nairobi, Kenya. I am deeply passionate about Civil Engineering and am currently pursuing my PhD. Beyond academia, I find solace in the great outdoors, often embarking on hikes and exploring new destinations whenever my schedule permits. As the semester begins, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with fellow students within GCF community and hopefully foster new friendships and experiences along the way.
