Amina was born and raised in New York City and has always had a love for cities. She attended Liberty University where she earned her undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, concentrating on the integration of health sciences and religion. She then moved on to work on a Dual Master’s in Theological Studies and Clinical Mental Health Counseling while doing College Ministry in Liberty University’s Office of Spiritual Development as a Senior Resident Shepherd. There, she invested in the leadership and spiritual development of undergraduate students through teaching and discipleship, which are among her passions. Her favorite part of that season was the young girls that she was able to build deep and meaningful relationships with! While passing through DC on her way home from Liberty, Amina stopped at National Community Church on a Sunday morning and felt God’s calling to this local community. By faith, Amina moved to a new city to be a part of the NCC community without realizing that God was calling her to serve and lead NCC Kids at the Capital Turnaround. Amina is passionate about discipleship, families, and the local church! She also has a love for morning walks, coffee, cooking, and reading!
