Briefly describe the program, volunteer work, or partnerships you or your organization may offer.
I enjoy helping emerging young adults explore “What’s next?”.This may involve: short term work together on a resume or job application or longer term vocational exploration, possibly with an educational component.
For high school students who want to explore college options, I prefer to start meeting in the beginning of the spring term of their junior year. I can also review college and scholarship essays.
Have worked with students with the following academic interests:
Humanities (art, drama, history, literature, religion), Social Sciences (anthropology, political science, non-profit and public administration, psychology, sociology), and Sciences (biology, forestry, horticulture, materials science, neuroscience).

You have indicated an expertise in Faith and Spirituality
I have a Master of Arts in Religion from Yale Divinity School where I explored the concept of vocation. I believe we each have callings whether they framed as “religious” or not.
I have written liturgy,
worked in a religious educational institution and a church and
been on the vestry (steering committee) for a church.
