Commissioned Lay Community Minister
Commissioned to the Community Ministry of Spiritual Care
February 4, 2024
Receiving a commission places me in the opportunity to have a charge from my personal congregation to perform a ministry on its behalf. This charge grants me the ecclesial authority to engage in the various forms of spiritual care. The Unitarian Universalist Society for Community Ministries recognizes commissioned lay community ministers as continuing in the office of the deacons. To learn more about commissioned ministry, visit the UUSCM website's "What is Our Ministry" and "Categories of Ministry" pages.

MSc in the Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health
Current Student
Studying at King's College London with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience has been a wonderful time of exploration. A key interest of mine is the intersection of spirituality with the brain, an area of study called neurotheology. By diving deeper into neuroscience, psychology, and mental health, I will both be better prepared to work with those living with mental health differences as well as enter into a larger conversation surrounding spirituality and neuroscience.

My Masters of Divinity gave me a theological foundation. I studied Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts. I also looked at Christian history generally as well as Unitarian Universalist history specifically. A significant portion of my studies focused on marginal theologies like religious naturalism and process theology as well as their impact on spiritual care.

Clinical Pastoral Education
Unit 1: 5/2018-8/2018
Residency: 5/2019-5/2020
Clinical Pastoral Education was the clinical training necessary for my work as a chaplain. My first unit (400 hours) was completed as an internship while my last three units (1,200 hours) were completed as a residency focused on behavioral health chaplaincy. These units focused on tools such as deep listening, pastoral presence, and learning how to truly witness another's story.
