Lida Hanson

Hi everyone! My name is Lida Hanson. I am 21 (almost 22) years old and am from a town outside Chicago.
I am the oldest of four kids. I have a brother who is 20, a sister who is 18, and another sister who is 13 (who has Down Syndrome). I also have a dog named Finnegan.
Some of my favorite things include deep dish pizza, the Chicago Cubs, soccer, and reading.
I currently have my Associate of Arts from a community college outside Chicago. I plan on going back to school next year to get my Bachelors in Middle School English Education. My hope is to be a Middle school teacher in or outside a city. But I have also considered going into ministry and being a youth pastor. I’m still not sure where I am going to transfer to get my Bachelors but I am looking at a few schools on the east coast and in Illinois.
I would love one day to write a book and travel to Europe (not necessarily in that order). Back in Illinois I attended the same church for 18 years. I grew up in the student ministry there and once I graduated from high school I volunteered as a small group leader. I enjoy helping students (and anyone) know that they are fully loved and fully known by Jesus.
I’m excited to be interning at Knox for this next year and getting to know everyone!
