Hi, I’m Jen!
Formally from the Inland Empire, I’m currently living in Southwest Mississippi.
As a former Religious Studies major my passions revolve around Christian education, interfaith dialogue, and servant ministry.
As a member of the Human race social justice and environmental restoration is as important to me as breathing and eating.
I enjoy writing an occasional poem, pushing around paint on canvases, and learning how to play the flute and trombone.
I am thrilled to have found United Church of the Valley and look forward to getting to know and building relationships with you all.

She studies both Buddhist and Christian theology and philosophy and allows the intersection of the two to guide her life to live and love more fully. She and Lorian have been together for 28 years, and have twin girls, Ruth and Rose, who are 18 years old. She plays guitar and has been singing for 10 years with her family in the SoCal Damekor, a Scandinavian Women’s Chorus.
