Meet Our Team

Liz Martin
Campus Ministry Assistant
Hi there! I'm a long-time member of Wesley and alumnus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a masters degree in Music Education. I taught general music and choir to K-8th graders in the Champaign public schools, and established/led the Gay-Straight Alliance at Jefferson Middle School. I love to sing and have performed in shows with several theatres. I've also directed music for Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company. I'm the Contemporary Worship Leader at Wesley in addition to working with Campus Ministry. In my spare time, I really enjoy listening to true crime podcasts, snuggling with my cats, and reading young adult novels.

Noa Villalobos
Peer Minister
Hey everyone, I am a Junior in Industrial Design, and a Business minor. I am from Brentwood, TN, and you are most likely to find me in my apartment drinking tea with my roommates or the Noble Ink Lab. I play with the Wesley praise band, and I am in IDSA. I love Wesley because of the awesome people. Everyone is full of kindness and acceptance, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I help with Friday with Friends Picnic and Midweek Campfire.

Garrett
Peer Minister
Hi, I am Garrett and I am so proud to be part of the leadership team here at the Wesley Foundation! Here at the Wesley Foundation, I produce podcasts and lead an anti-racism book club, among other things. As the son of a United Methodist pastor, I have maintained a connection with Christ for my entire life, but I truly began to know and understand Him at East Bay Camp, a Methodist camp on Lake Bloomington. I am thrilled to be a freshman studying Political Science and Economics at the University of Illinois, and I cannot wait to meet all of you!

Danica
Peer Minister
Hi there! I'm a sophomore student at the University of Illinois studying Flute Performance. From a young age I've been involved in community outreach and leadership. I'm a Blue Ridge Leaders School alum, a former YMCA Leaders Club member, and I currently work as a Program Advisor on campus. I look forward to connecting with other students and the Urbana~Champaign campus community through Wesley's wonderful programs!
