Summary
I am a lifelong learner with organizational and communication skills, as well as experience in a lot of different jobs and roles. I am beginning my journey to becoming ordained within the Unitarian Universalist tradition, and I look forward to my future of diverse jobs and experiences on my path to ordainment. I work well with others, as well as in high-stress environments and environments where I may not know enough and need to learn more on the job to succeed.
