Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I love to knit, sew, play my violin and guitar, sing, swim, canoe, watch tv and movies, cook, bake, and spend time with friends and laugh. One of my favorite things to do to unwind is drive with my windows down, sunroof open, and my music blaring!

I swam on the varsity team all four years of high school, but have only been on intramural sports teams since (flag football, volleyball, soccer). I'm not an avid sports watcher, but I enjoy watching if someone else turns a game/match on (football, soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, etc)...I did watch the Phillies win the World Series!!! that was awesome!

I graduated from the College of William & Mary last May with a BS in chemistry, and now I am working towards a Masters of Divinity at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia LTSP and ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ELCA. I know this is a weird dichotomy of faith and science, but my knowledge of science and the order I see in nature strengthens my faith. I see myself as spiritual as I am scientific. In addition to being scientific and religious, I also am quite more liberal than most people tend to expect from a future pastor. pastors are real people too!

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I am currently attending seminary in Philadelphia, working towards my Masters of Divinity to ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ELCA. I want to serve as a parish pastor wherever God sends me. On campus in addition to taking classes and studying, I am in the choir, play on the flag football team, on a couple of committees, and am starting to explore this amazing city!

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I am a very organized person (I am AR about some things), who plays the violin, is learning to play the guitar, and loves to sing. I am very creative with arts & crafts, sewing, and knitting, but wouldn't really call myself an artist. I am a good friend, a good listener, and I love to laugh.

I am pretty girly when it comes to books and movies, but enjoy lots of genres.

Movies: chick flicks (american president, father of the bride, wedding date, because I said so, family stone), but I also enjoy others like: wedding crashers, little miss sunshine, keeping mum, harry potter, across the universe, the departed.

TV: the office, grey's anatomy, sex and the city, brothers and sisters, my boys, greek, gossip girl, desperate housewives, dirty sexy money, eli stone, private practice, samantha who, ugly betty, 30 rock, Days of our lives (this is my mother's fault), law & order, lost, lipstick jungle...yes i know I watch a lot of tv

Music: I listen to a little bit of everything: alternative, rock, pop, show tunes, christian rock, some country, a bit of rap...

Food: I love food, especially really good food! I like American, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Mexican, etc. I love both trying new foods at restaurants and making them at home. I consider myself a pretty good cook, especially for most of my experience being in a small dorm kitchen. My latest experiment in the kitchen was spanakopita and baklava...it wasn't authentic Greek...but it was really good!

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

What God has in store for me in the future: where I will be placed, what kind of congregation I will serve, when/if I will get married and have kids, will I keep in touch with all of my friends from college that have scattered across the country and world.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Hanging out with friends...a quiet night in or out having a blast!

Watching a movie, playing board games, hanging out chatting or playing music, cooking dinner with friends over a glass of wine or beer OR out at the local bar or restaurants having a wonderful dinner, drink, and fellowship.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I am still damaged from my parents divorce when I was in fifth grade. I very much believe in love and marriage, but I tend to be a little hesitant in letting myself be fully vulnerable so I don't needlessly get hurt. This is something I am working on.
