CURRENT MISSION

To be open to life.

ABOUT ME

I just completed a masters of divinity program at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Prior to that, I got a masters in social work in Greensboro, NC. I've worked as a German-English translator since 2006 and I've also had a smattering of non-profit and community college jobs. Currently, I'm a Pastoral Care Associate at First Presbyterian Church in Roswell.

PHILOSOPHY

"The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in. "
-Leonard Cohen

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a cat give birth once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of smatterings of knowledge about various things that I'm always willing to share. I try to remain open to learning anything.
