From Joppa Mountain in eastern Tennessee, on the grounds of Glenmary Home Missioners, with birds chirping in the background, Maggie Sheehan speaks about her mission experience with a maturity that belies her age.  
 

Now all of 23, she’s had a whirlwind past year that took her to Ecuador and back to Tennessee, where she is waiting out the pandemic like so many others and listening for that quiet voice that she believes has led her this far and will lead her to the next place.  
 

Maggie was raised in Cincinnati and participated in a high school immersion trip to Glenmary in 2014, when it was located in Kentucky. After graduating from the University of Dayton a semester early, she looked for a meaningful service opportunity and remembered her earlier time with Glenmary.
