Marina

Hi , my name is Marina. Always spreading good vibes, life is too short to be serious all the time. I love working with youth and am passionate about serving them.I'm married and have three wonderful kids. Being outdoors brings me great joy, and I enjoy camping every summer. Cooking is another one of my passions; feeding people is my love language. I believe every day is a new opportunity to learn something new.

Adrian

I’m passionate about God, my family, and my country. I cherish time spent playing soccer and enjoying backyard activities with my family. I'm blessed with an amazing wife, two boys, and a dog named Bubs. I’m grateful for the little joys in life. Fall is my favorite season, bringing together everything I love most: family, fun, and the beauty of nature.

Robin

Hey there! Robin here. Although I wasn’t born or raised in Yakima, my roots run deep in the Valley and are what brought me here in 2003, a few years after getting married. Music is a big influence in my life, and I fit some sort of connection to music in each of my 4 kids’ names. I like hanging out with my family, eating good food, being outdoors, laughing, and shopping at Costco. I love to help others see their potential, particularly youth, especially when that leads to positive choices and relationships. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge increases potential, and we all have great potential, I know it!

Krista

I believe life is motivated by passion, the things we love. I am passionate about young people and helping people be who they can be. I have worked in youth over 15 years in education and church. That passion led me to Kenya where I worked at an internship program and met my amazing husband. We have been married almost 3 years and love playing board games, hiking and travel. But most importantly we both are passionate about the next generation and growing young leaders. ​

Jacob

What's Up! My name is Jacob, and I'm here to serve! I grew up in the greater Puget Sound area but moved here to Yakima in 2021 for school and a fresh start. I've always felt called to serve in a position where I could help my community, and I love what Think Twice stands for and does for the Yakima area. When I'm not out with Think Twice, I'm usually at home with my two cats, watching movies, listening to various music, or playing video games with my friends! I'm so excited to continue working for you and the Yakima community!

Hi, I’m Yazmin. Why am I here? Because I believe the youth are the secret weapon to a better tomorrow. I envision a future where young people feel confident and equipped to make choices that transform their lives and shape a brighter future for generations to come.
