I received my Master of Divinity degree from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary with a concentration in Evangelism & Justice. I’ve served in five ELCA congregations throughout the Houston area in just about every facet of church life, from Godly Play coordinator and lay leader on church council to Synod Authorized Minister, Vicar to Director of Operations, and now ordained as Pastor for Faith Formation at Faith Bellaire.

My portfolio at Faith Bellaire includes faith formation across all generations, Faith Camp, fostering a thriving connection with the Faith School, evangelism, development of the Faith Family Resource Center, and more. I also have the typical activities of an associate pastor, preaching and presiding alongside Pastor Marvin and Pastor Tan.

I’m also a medical anthropologist. Prior to entering ministry, I worked for about a decade in HIV and public health for local governments and infant mortality prevention in Memphis prior to that. I am a lifelong Texan (save those few years in Memphis).
