Where are you from? Where do you call home?

I’m from Thousand Oaks, a town in Southern California. While I’m a SoCal girl at heart, I’ve found my place on the East Coast and truly love it here! I believe home can exist in more than one place, and for me, those homes happen to be on opposite coasts.

Where are you in the ordination process?

I have my ordination date set for early October 2025.

What kind of ministry do you feel called towards?

know my calling is for pastoral ministry, and I have come to understand that being a pastor transcends a multitude of ministerial positions. I particularly have a heart for young people and working with youth and families.

What have been some meaningful ministry experiences you have had?

Oh my goodness, so many to say the least! Just during my time at seminary I have served as a Deacon (community life advocate/Resident assistant), Student Pastor, Camp Chaplain, and Hospital Chaplain. All of these experiences of ministry have been incredibly formative.

What Presbytery are you under?

I am under the Presbytery of Northeast New Jersey. I was under care during my ordination process through the Santa Barbara Presbytery.
