Josh Booth
Hometown: Snohomish, WA
Major: Youth, Children, and Family Ministries
Interests: Singing, hanging out with friends, movies, church ministry.
About Me: I am double majoring in Youth, Children, and Family Ministries, and Biblical Studies with a minor in Communications. The Church and my faith are very important to me. Experiencing fellowship and building meaningful relationships are some of my deepest values. I love helping people—whether that’s by talking, serving, or listening. When I am not at church, I love to hang out with friends and family. This includes traveling and going on adventures, watching movies, and binge-watching TV shows. I also love food, (although I am quite picky) and going on late night food runs with friends!
Sophie Keener
Hometown: Auburn, WA
Major: Interpersonal Communications
Interests: Hiking, reading, cooking, spending time with people, being in nature.
About Me: I am a senior communications major with a minor in Youth, Children and Family Ministries. My passion is walking alongside youth and kids in their journey with the Lord. I also love people and getting to know them. So, being at NU has been a great fit for me and has allowed me to meet so many amazing people. This is my second year working as an intern in Admissions. I am excited to continue to grow while meeting and connecting with more of you! In my free time I love being out in nature exploring God’s beautiful creation. I also spend a lot of time with my roommates, and we have a lot of fun doing the most random things together.
Hannah Lleras
Hometown: Tacoma, WA
Major: Worship Ministry
Interests: Spending time with my mom and siblings, getting coffee with friends, walking around Costco or Target, swimming, baking for holidays, and I love the color purple.
About Me: I am a Worship Ministry Major. Picking a major was not an easy decision for me. I started out as a Nursing major because I knew I wanted to help people. Then I changed my major to Psychology after I discovered that I loved learning about how the mind works and understanding human patterns. I thought I had my life figured out at that point, but at the end of last year, the Lord showed me that I was choosing Psychology out of fear that He would provide. This radically changed my life and made me recognize that what the Lord was calling me to do—lead worship—has really been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! In choosing Northwest, I have discovered something new about who God is every day because of my friends, campus pastors, and the beauty of this community. I am also a proud recipient of the Act Six Scholarship, and I love meeting new people! I have truly appreciated the different ways I have been able to get involved on campus.

About Me: I am a senior Psychology major and hope to one day serve as a high school counselor in an underrepresented community. I love traveling, trying new foods, and going on fun adventures. I also enjoy spending time with people I love—whether that is a movie night in or a sunset drive with friends while blasting my favorite songs. My current favorite snack is granny smith apples with lime and tajin!
