Before joining Bishop Loya’s staff, she was the rector of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in St. Paul for 16 ½ years, and before she served rural and suburban congregations in Virginia, with a special focus on Christian formation. She has a Doctor of Ministry in Congregational Mission and Leadership from Luther Seminary.
