    Karis just finished her junior year at Grove City College where she is an RA in a freshman girls’ dorm, and is studying Biblical and Religious Studies and Christian Ministry. She’s from Fairport, NY where she’s been involved as a student leader in youth group and kids ministry.  If she could be best friends with a biblical figure (other than God) she would choose Daniel.  She likes BBQ sauce on pizza, burgers, & fries and is seldom seen without coffee in her hand.
