Change and Continuity

Date: July 18, 2025

Over the past thirteen years at the Seminary, I have witnessed significant changes, professionally, personally, and within the Seminary itself. I began by overseeing the Guest Houses and later became the Director of Hospitality. During that time, I also pursued studies part time and earned an M.A. in Christian Formation. Five years ago, I transitioned to Institutional Advancement as the Director of Development Services, where I manage the donor database and gift processing and help coordinate departmental events. With that transition came a personal shift as well. I moved off campus after many years of living and working onsite. This year, I also assumed responsibility for the donor database at The General Theological Seminary. Through all these transitions, some things have remained constant: the dedicated colleagues I work alongside, the passionate students who come through our programs, and the enthusiastic alumni who continue to support the Seminary’s mission. To all of you, I offer my heartfelt thanks.
