Mari Pablo is a proud Hispanic whose life was changed in the best way possible when she finally decided to stop fighting and surrender it all to Him. Her mission is simple to encourage others to refuse to settle for the things of this world, but rather to strive for more, to strive for Him. She has degrees in theology and psychology from Franciscan University of Steubenville and her Masters in theology from Augustine Institute. She has worked in youth ministry for over 15 years and is currently a high school theology teacher and Campus Minister. She is a speaker for the Steubenville Youth Conference and recently worked with Ascension Press on the 99 and the YOU: Theology of the Body program for teens. Mari has a deep love for food but an even greater love for Christ and is dedicated to helping others encounter Him.
