I first sensed and recognized God’s voice calling me to ministry when I was 16 and I’ve been trying to be faithful to that call ever since. That journey has been far from linear and has led me to serve God in youth ministry, as a missionary in South Africa for several years, in community outreach, congregational care and visitation, and my current role as Director of Lay Ministry at Hopewell UMC in Downingtown, PA.

I’m in my last year of the MDIV program at Palmer. Having started in fall of 2016, my seminary experience has spanned almost a decade and I continue to treasure the learning, community, and spiritual growth here. It is a joy and honor to serve on Student Assembly and I look forward learning and serving alongside a wonderful team.
