Aside from preaching, teaching and pastoral care, I am responsible for Adult formation and Faith in Action (outreach and justice) teams.

I have spent my entire adult life ministering in congregations, camps and campus ministries around the Midwest. Since graduating from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in 2007, I have served as an interim rector in Ypsilanti, MI; a vicar in Brownsburg, IN; a college chaplain in St. Louis, MO and as an associate rector in Ann Arbor, MI. In each setting, the heart of my ministry has been to accompany individuals and groups through discerning who God is inviting them to be as disciples of Jesus called to love and serve a hurting world.

As an Ohio native, I come by my fondness for the Great Lakes/Midwest region honestly (I did try out New England and Germany during my four years at Smith College, but landed right back here afterward.) I grew up deeply engaged in church, Girl Scout camp, public education and the Cleveland tradition of loyalty to local teams no matter the heartbreak. In my life outside church, I love cooking for people; listening to the Indigo Girls; reading Madeleine L'Engle and N.K. Jemisin stories; repeatedly watching Heartstopper, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The West Wing; cuddling my cat, SamSaki and laughing at anything and everything.
