As the Hospitality Minister, I have the privilege of meeting and connecting with new parishioners in the parish, coordinating our overall hospitality experience, and helping parishioners find and join different ministries and small groups. As a Youth Minister, I run our Junior High Youth Group, and provide support to our Young Adult Ministry. I also assist in managing our social media.
I joined Spiritus over 15 years ago when I was seeking a more progressive and inclusive church, and instantly fell in love. I quickly became involved volunteering for the Junior High Youth Group, and then took over as the Senior High Youth Minister. Before joining the staff I obtained my Bachelors at Hofstra University in English Education, taught as an English teacher for 12 years, and during that time obtained a degree in Special Education from St. John Fisher College. Although I loved my time teaching, I felt a true calling to pursue a full-time career in ministry, and eventually started the MDIV program at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School with the hopes of one day going full-time at Spiritus and serving our community in whatever capacity was needed. Being able to join my faith and work together has alway been a dream of mine, and I feel so blessed to be able to do the work that God has allowed me to do.
I have a beautiful baby boy Vincent. During my free time I love to run and hike.
