I am a 25-year-old student and spiritual director at the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology. Like many people in my stage of life, I am trying to figure out how to build a meaningful life out of the ridiculous hubbub that is Southern California. I am deeply interested in people, spirituality, family, community, and hospitality, both emotional and physical. Professionally speaking (and I use that term very loosely), I am a student, spiritual director, teacher, editor, and administrative assistant. I believe that each breath we draw is evidence of mercy and grace and endeavor to live accordingly. And I love to cook.
