My Work

Like the clients I have had the pleasure of working with, I have devoted my vocation to helping create a communities and societies that are abundant, nourishing, just and equitable for all. The pursuit of the common good, justice and liberation, integrity and hope are central ethics to my work, the foundation of which is a vision of a world where joy and justice, pleasure, and playfulness are accessible to all. My work centers around the intersection of religion and public policy, and I served in a variety of capacities as a coalition builder, connector, project manager and communications advisor. I have had the honor to support the health and efficacy of movements, using my skills as a public theologian, policy advisor and communications strategist to build strong networks in response to the critical issues we face domestically and globally. From developing a collaborative and cohesive response from U.S. faith leaders to the war in Ukraine, to organizing faith leaders and organizations on economic justice, to supporting organizations develop strategies to combat religious nationalism and safeguard democracy, I have the honor and pleasure to be a part of the collective work to build a world that is nourishing and just for all.
