What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to blend my pastoral skills with community service, fostering growth and support in a nurturing environment.

I am a passionate pastoral leader with a Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Ministry from Olivet Nazarene University. My journey in ministry has been deeply rooted in guiding individuals and communities through their spiritual journeys. I have served in various roles, including Worship & Arts Director and Associate Pastor, where I cultivated worship experiences that resonate with diverse congregations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to fostering a supportive environment for my teams and congregants. At Crossbridge Community Church, I led a skilled worship team, ensuring that each service aligned with the church's mission and vision. My experience in youth ministry at PBN Church allowed me to create safe spaces for students to explore their faith, while also revitalizing the worship ministry from the ground up.

Currently, I am pursuing my nursing degree while working as a Certified Nursing Assistant student at Henry Rehabilitation & Nursing. This unique blend of pastoral care and healthcare equips me with a holistic approach to serving others, emphasizing compassion and support in all aspects of life.
