Meet Sun 3 Pre-NCCC





Matt Fraterman-

Hey everyone! I'm Matt. I'm 21 years old and I'm the team leader for sun 3. I'm from the jersey shore and worked as a lifeguard before coming out here to AmeriCorps. I was a corps member last year and the experience was one of the most life changing things I have ever done. I hope you find all this information helpful and feel free to contact any one of us.









Carly Anderson-
 
Hi! My my name is Carly Anderson. I graduated from the Art Institute of Philadelphia this past June with a bachelors in Interior Design. I have lived in PA all 23 years of my life and joined AmeriCorps to travel, meet new people, and help communities across our country. I love the outdoors and being active. I'm looking forward to a great year with a great team!





Angie Austin-

Hi my name is Angie as you probably got from the title. I just graduated from Kent State University in Ohio with a degree in theater studies. I am very involved with Improv theatre and love it. I also am one of the few people who can honestly say they've spent a summer as a giant hot dog. I am doing AmeriCorps because I love helping people and really want to get things done for America!










Stefanie Bednar-

Hi, I'm Stefanie. I am one of the older members on the team (24!) I graduated from the University of Denver with a BA in communications in 2009. I spent some time backpacking in South America after college and then settled in downtown Denver and worked as a waitress. I have no clue what I want to be when I grow up. I do know that I like to travel and I have a passion for helping people. I joined AmeriCorps hoping that in these next 10 months, I will find myself and the path that I'm want to take in the future. I'm super excited to see what this year brings my way!



Nicholas Connolly-

Hey! My name is Nick and I am 23 years old and from Seacoast, NH. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a bachelors in Business Administration in May 2010. I joined AmeriCorps because I love helping people out and the NCCC program sounded the most intense and enjoyable for me. I can't wait to be a helping hand, improving the living conditions for the people of my country. Some of my hobbies include golfing, skiing, hiking, wakeboarding and going to the beach. I would love to answer any questions that you might have about AmeriCorps NCCC.







Bobby Kole-

I'm Bobby, I have recently graduated from high school in New Jersey. As a denizen of the shore, I am an ocean lifeguard and surfer. I participated in cross country, track, and swimming and remain an avid advocate for personal fitness. As such, I am excited to lead our team in physical training (PT).

Dustin Potter-

Hello, my name is Dustin and I just completed my Biology degree from the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul, MN. I grew up in Northeastern MN, which is where I found my love for outdoors activities such as hiking. With an abundance of lakes, I was able to fulfill my love of fishing and boating during the summer, and then play hockey during the cold winter months. I joined AmeriCorps to broaden my cultural experiences, to challenge myself, and most importantly to make a difference in communities that are under-served.




Chris O'Reilly-

Hey everyone, I'm Chris and I recently graduated from Colorado State University with a Marketing degree. I was born in South Carolina but have spent most of my life in Fort Collins, CO. I really enjoy music. I grew up playing the piano and also learned the guitar in high school. I joined AmeriCorps NCCC to meet new and inspiring people, make a positive change to my own life and enhance the lives of people all across the country. Peace, Love, and Rock n' Roll.

Lyndsay Whitehurst-

Hi! I'm Lyndsay. I just graduated from Regis University in Denver, CO. I'm so excited to be a part of AmeriCorps NCCC! One of the things that has stuck with me from college is the concept of cura personalis, caring for the whole person. I look forward to engaging this year with everything I have mentally, emotionally, and physically. I know the fire management aspect of my NCCC experience will allow for a lot of growth and change as I overcome different personal obstacles. I also want to welcome any questions or comments!
