about me
I love collecting albums, doing Yoga with Adriene to relieve stress, playing Fortnite, watching Never Too Small on YouTube, and enjoying healthy servings of Wonderful Halos. I am passionate about parish brand development, storytelling, and data analysis for ministry; fostering deeper connections and discipleship in Episcopal congregations; and social justice as a way of being, not a fleeting trend.
Outside of work, I’m committed to community involvement. I’m always looking for ways to give back and learn new things. I’m excited to be part of the Texas Episcopal Service Corps, where I work with Missional Voices, helping young people share their faith and serve their communities. I’ve also spent summers at Camp Allen, an Episcopal church camp, where I worked with kids and young people, led worship services, and participated in outdoor activities. These experiences have helped me grow as a communicator, build relationships with people of all ages, and deepen my faith.
My goal is to make a positive difference in my community and connect with people from all walks of life. These skills and experiences have been invaluable in my career as a communications professional, allowing me to communicate effectively and build meaningful connections.
