Alexxa is an Arizona native who graduated from The University of Arizona with a Journalism degree. Over the last two years she’s been working for a local television station in Phoenix. Alexxa has also volunteered at various activities with my church and also with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She enjoys swimming, hiking and cooking. This is her first experience with the CSM. “I am excited to serve God while exploring New York City, learning about the issues in the city and meeting new people.”

Andrew “Drew” Reding

Drew hails from the amazing state of Kansas. Where he graduated with a commercial graphics degree from Pittsburg State. He hosted for CSM in San Francisco during the summer and fall of 2005. Drew jumped at the opportunity to host in New York, where he expects the Lord to do amazing things in the city and the lives of the students. He spends his free time sporting a fanny pack and going to concerts. His personal mission statement is “To truly love people so that they can begin to understand the love of their father in Heaven.” He looks forward to loving the people of New York and leading groups as he shares that love.
