Rene Ramos
Intern
Rene has been a student at ASM since his sophomore year and is very excited for the discipleship opportunity as the ASM intern for the upcoming school year. A graduate of Kamiak HS in 2006, he is currently a student at the University of Washington studying business, but has not ruled out the possibility of going into ministry. Rene looks forward to guiding the students of ASM in their walk with God, and encouraging them to crave His word. Rene enjoys warm summer days, Husky football, and an occasional slice of pecan pie.
Katie
Brister
Katie has been part of ASM for 8 years, having been invited to a program in her high school years. A senior studying philosophy at the UW, she revels in drawing students into meaningful, engaging conversation about her very real faith that is a model to those who spend time with her. Katie is always encouraging to those around her and very well loved; she fits in perfectly as the director of women’s ministries for ASM. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends and reading a "bevy" of books.
