Get to know me, like we’re at the pub: I’m an assistant director at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale (podcast: The Leader’s Way 🥾 ✨) & a lecturer at Yale Divinity School. My PhD book is in the works, and it’s about the doctrine of salvation, feminist theology, Gregory of Nyssa, & metaphors!
Very excited to share that I’ve accepted the position of Visiting Professor of History and Theology at Virginia Theological Seminary. Grateful for my time at Yale & giddy about this next chapter.

My interview with the one and only Krista Tippett is live! You can listen to it by looking up The Leader’s Way on all the podcast apps, and you can watch it with video on Spotify and YouTube. Are mystery and gentleness what we need right now? Listen to find out.

At the airport Starbucks, they gave me a mocha instead of a latte. The way I see it, the chocolate found me in a time of need, and I can’t be blamed.

To teach is to learn, my friends. Teaching a workshop on contemplative prayer, I was told of the practice of prayer coloring! If you need me, I’ll be here with my markers until further notice.

Standing before a room full of seminarians is so humbling. My students are some of the most incredible people I have met, and I have so much respect for them and their vocations. The semester is off to a strong start with students grappling with questions of what (whether???) Anglican theology is.

After being a Gregory of Nyssa nerd for many years, I’ll be physically attending my first NAPS conference this year - who will I see there?

Might I commend to you my “truffle hunting” paradigm for conferencing? Each day, the goal is to find a truffle. Truffle = one new friend, idea for a project, way of thinking about something, clue about a publisher or job. Go forth and truffle hunt with joy, connection, and curiosity. 🍄🟫✨ #SBLAAR24

Today’s Theologia lunch for Christian women scholars was so effusively encouraging, and of course it was a huge treat to hear a bit of Katherine Sonderegger’s forthcoming third volume of her systematic theology. Thankful!!! #SBLAAR24

Walking back to the hotel, a gaggle of Theology Men held a door open for a friend (also a woman) and me, and decided to say to us, “Come on in kiddies.” In the year of our Lord 2024 literally just … why #SBLAAR24
