It is a joy and privilege to serve as Associate Chaplain, returning to the St. Olaf where my interest in theology was first ignited (BA, Religion, 2004). With experience in campus ministry both at Finlandia University (2019-2023) and Michigan Technological University (2023-2026), I look forward to meeting students where they are at, whether through worship, conversation, or simply sharing life on campus together. Ordained as an ELCA pastor for sixteen years (M.Div, Lutheran School of Theology, 2010), I also have a degree in clinical mental health counseling with an emphasis in mindfulness-based transpersonal approaches (MA, Naropa University, 2025). I am passionate about integrating mental and spiritual health, interfaith dialogue, and building community through service. I love connecting to others through food, mindfulness practices, or on the court (pickleball, volleyball, or basketball). I live in Northfield with my husband Brahm, our two daughters, and dog, Pepper. 

I would look forward to connecting with you! Please reach out.
