Alex Hoare
President
Sophomore, Computer Science
Hey, all! I’m Alex, and I’m from Pittsburgh, PA. After looking for a Bible study my freshman year, I joined the Navigators and found so much more. It has been remarkable how God has blessed me through this ministry. The Navigators has given me friendships, discipleship, and a stronger faith in the Lord, and I hope it does the same for you. Outside of the Navigators, I enjoy spending my time reading, kayaking, and writing music. I’d love to see you this year!
Kayla Brown
Secretary
Senior
Hi everyone! My name is Kayla Brown and I am the Navs secretary for this year! After hearing about Navigators from family members who were a part of Navs at Penn State, I decided to check it out my freshman year and was immediately drawn into this amazing group of people. Through Navs, I have gained a deeper understanding of who God is and how he works in my life. I have found a great community, through 10:10 bible study groups and Nav Nights, which challenges me to keep growing in my faith. I am in my senior year and majoring in chemical engineering. Some hobbies of mine are bike riding, baking, reading, and hiking.
Chase Walter
Vice President
Senior, Architectural Engineer disciplining in Construction Management
Hey everyone! The Navigators ministry has been such an important part of my college experience since the first week. I found a community of fellow Christ followers who encourage me in my walk through life with God. Whether it be meeting at NavNight, studying God’s word in Bible study, or watching a football game in Nittanyville, I have gotten a taste of the abundant life alongside my friends in Christ. In my free time I enjoy kayaking, fishing, and wakeboarding in my hometown on Lake Erie
Brayden Brooks
Treasurer
Sophomore, Engineering
Hi there! My name is Brayden Brooks and I am the current Treasurer of the Penn State Navigators. I learned of the Navigators through the Involvement Fair. I scanned the QR code they had, and got connected with the staff a short time later! In my free time I love making music, playing video games, and hanging out with friends.
