I was born into a church-going home in New Jersey, and spent my childhood active in church, the arts, spending time in nature, and volunteering at a local living history farm.  The church nurtured me into a life of faith, and I left NJ for Pennsylvania to attend Eastern University, majoring in Theology.  From Eastern, I moved on to Princeton Theological Seminary and attained my MDiv.  PTS inspired within me a passion for ministry and serving God’s church.

I have loved the arts since childhood, when I was active in theater, dance, and choirs.  I love incorporating the arts into ministry, worship, and children’s/youth programs.  The arts often provide ways to praise God, lament sorrows, and draw together as a community that words alone cannot achieve.

As the Associate Pastor, my work engages me with preaching, music, pastoral care, and working with children, youth, and young families.  My greatest joy in ministry is seeing a young person grasp the truth of God’s love for them for the first time, or watching as youth dive deeper into Scripture and “light bulbs” go off as they form connections.  I have a passion for poetry and prayer, and incorporate these forms of writing into my sermons.

My greatest blessing is my family, and there’s nothing I love more than to spend time with my husband and daughter.  But I also love the sense of family that exists at WPC, and invite all to come and experience it for themselves.
