Denali grew up in Jefferson City, Missouri, and came to Columbia her freshman year in 2021. As a student, Denali became involved in our ministry, participating in the worship band, small group leadership, and the summer internship! Denali is super excited to continue to be a part of students' lives and care for them the way the 812 staff has cared for her. In her free time, she enjoys being outside with her dog, Moxxie, and playing D&D!
