Hi there. Very excited to be here!!
This Spring, I am enrolling in the Doctor of Ministry program (Forshey's cohort), and continuing my preparation for ordination as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the PC (USA). I will also be working as a graduate assistant for church relations at the seminary.
Congregational ministry will be my third career. Out of college, I spent six years in politics and policy in Washington, DC. While earning a Master of Public Administration at Columbia University in New York, I shifted to institutional fundraising; ultimately becoming a Chief Development Officer (CDO) at three different organisations in New York, Miami and Washington DC. After hearing God's call to ministry in January 2023, I left life in the c-suite behind and enrolled at Austin Seminary before ultimately finding my way to Dubuque. I currently call Reedsburg, Wisconsin home.
I am a huge baseball fan (Go Brewers!), love working out, and baking pies and sweets. Epic book worm here (historic non-fiction, biographies and mysteries are my favorite). I plan to start marathon training in a few weeks so hit me up if you are also a runner!
Look forward to meeting everyone! May the Lord bless and keep each of you!
