Staff In Training
Alyssa Martens Alyssa, originally from Ames, Iowa, graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Apparel Design. God’s work in her life brought her to be involved in EDGE Corps at FSU. In college, God gave her a greater heart for people and a desire to labor among them for a lifetime (Matthew 9:36-38). Impacted by the EDGE Corps team that came to her university, she knew God could use her in a similar way to impact others if she was obedient to Him. She also saw EDGE Corps as a great foundation for whatever the Lord has planned next for her life and a great opportunity to be trained in laboring and making disciples for a lifetime.
Luke Skeen This will be Luke’s second year on staff with the Navigators at FSU. He graduated December 2005 from Tennessee Tech University where he studied Math Education. He loves anything with sports, music and the outdoors and loves to help people. He taught at a Middle School in TN before deciding to go on staff. Luke wants to minister to college students because that was the most spiritually influential time in his life.
Katie Clark Profile coming soon.
EDGE Corps
Kyle and Nicki Kozloski This fall has begun Kyle’s eighth year here in Tallahassee. He spent his undergrad years at FSU and two years working for the University before he came on staff. He enjoys being around students and wants to impact their lives so that they will be life long laborers for God’s kingdom. Nicki graduated from FSU with a Bachelor of Arts in Music (Piano) in 2004. This is her seventh year in Tallahassee, and her second year serving on staff with the Navigators. Nicki has a heart to help students know Jesus Christ, love Him, and bring others to Him, particularly in the School of Music and Kellum Hall.
Helen Anderson Profile coming soon.

Associate Staff
Andrew Ledwith Andrew graduated from FSU in 2006 and now works in Tallahassee. He loves to teach small group Bible studies and mentor students one-to-one. He believes that its in these settings that the greatest impact is made on a person’s life. In his free time Andrew enjoys writing, listen to music, and web design (in fact, he designed this website).
Joshua Davis Joshua “JD” Davis graduated from FSU in 2003 with a degree in Creative Writing. He has since dedicated this portion of his life to paying off his student loans and fighting crime. He has had little luck with either, though he says he’ll be a “free man” this spring (whatever that means). JD sleeps in a tent behind his house. He thinks the movie “West Side Story” was loosely based on his own teenage exploits, despite claims that it was actually an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” - not to mention the fact that it came out nearly two decades before he was born.
Carrie Cirafesi Carrie completed her undergraduate studies at the Florida State University in May 2004, studying Political Science and International Affairs. This Fall 2007 will be her eighth year living in Tallahassee. She has served with the Navigators as an alumnae since Fall 2004 and joined the Navigator Staff team at FSU as associate staff in Fall 2006.
Linda Zak Linda moved to Tallahassee in June of ‘99, coming with Andy and Suzanne Farina (who are now on staff in Gainesville) to work with the collegiate staff at FSU. She is best known for her incredible hospitality and fantastic cooking. She currently ministers to students in the College of Medicine. Linda was among the first class of women to graduate from the University of Notre Dame in ‘78. (For you football buffs, she was at ND along with Joe Montana and Rudy.) After working in a genetics lab, she attended Loyola Med School. Dr. Zak is now employed at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital taking care of premature babies. She loves to cook, hates dusting, and drives to Clearwater to visit her 16-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter who live with their father.
