We have loved getting to know the new Leap staff at PTM the past few months! If you haven’t had the chance to meet them in person, here is a chance to meet 2 of them!
Meet Jasmine!
What is your role at PTM? Assistant Youth Director and Event Coordinator

Favorite quote from a PTM kid: The question: What do you want to be when you grow up? “A unicorn veterinarian” – Skylar

Meet Alyssa!
What is your role at PTM? Assistant Development Director
Where are you from? Texarkana, TX (Baylor University sic ’em)
Favorite PTM memory so far: Making songs and dancing with kids on Fun Fridays!
Why did you choose to do LEAP? Graduating college in the middle of a pandemic is very weird and comes with a lot of uncertainty. When I finally decided to start looking for post-grad opportunities, I knew I wanted to move somewhere new, gain experience in nonprofit ministry, and get outside of my comfort zone. I came across PTM and LEAP and knew that the experience would give me all of that. I’m so thankful to have a year to learn about development under some awesome people and be constantly challenged and growing!
Favorite moment in the LEAP house:I celebrated my birthday in August and the girls surprised me with a birthday breakfast spread. It was a super sweet morning and I felt so loved and celebrated by PTM staff all day!
Your favorite Nashville spot:Steadfast Coffee in Germantown – I love coffee and made it my mission early on to find my favorite spot. So far it takes the cake!
