Children, Youth & Family Studies Student Profiles


Robin Stillmaker

Robin Stillmaker

My hometown: Maple Valley, WA

My future interest: I’d like to become either a youth director or a pastor.

Why I chose Trinity: I felt at home from the moment I first set foot on campus.

Best part of the CYFS program: I am challenged by my professors to live out a mature faith and search for a deeper relationship with God. During class, I have the opportunity to share my personal testimony with my classmates and reflect upon how my faith journey has led me to where I am today.
