Willson/Hood

Hey everyone! I am Gianna Willson and I hail from Raleigh, North Carolina, the hometown of Krispy Kreme—-objectively the best donuts. A bit about me: I am a super passionate person and love conversing about a variety of subjects, am a huge movie connoisseur, I love the outdoors, traveling, sports, and am a master chef (I make mean macaroni). Over the past five years, I have  had the privilege of being a part of TeenPact and experiencing it impact my character and faith. When I began TeenPact, I struggled a lot with mental health, but the Lord used the ministry to show me His  saving grace and love. The Lord is continually working to transform the new creation I am and that is where I place my identity—-in Him. With that, my experience and love for the ministry has inspired me to pursue this leadership role as President.

My name is John Hood. Currently, Missouri is home, but I’ve lived in Pennsylvania and California—so I’ve seen both the cities and rural America, and appreciate both. I graduated in 2024 with an entrepreneurial fire. After 2+ years working for an HVAC company, my brother and I stepped out and started our own detailing business—that’s quite a project it turns out. But those are just facts. The real answer to “Who am I?” is deeper: I belong to Jesus Christ. He defines how I live me life, and who I am. I’ve got plenty of growth still, but my aim is simple: To seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and watch what he adds. It may be hard at times, but it is truly worth it. And honestly… what else is there?
