I’m a mother of three, an attorney by day, and someone who has learned to find wonder in the midst of Zoom meetings and email, wiping food off the floor and washing dishes. I created Tangible as a space for “orphaned believers and skeptical dreamers” to find nourishment and community.
I’m currently training as a Christian Spiritual Director through the Selah program at Leadership Transformations. My writing has appeared in Plough, Sojourners, Coracle Journal, 4word, and other publications. I’ve also contributed academic work to the Oxford Journal of Refugee Law.
When I’m not writing or baking bread, you’ll find me walking the trails of Rock Creek Park or hosting friends around our table. I live with my husband Nate and our three children in a DC home we’re always renovating — the English basement of which has become Rock Creek Sanctuary, our micro retreat space.
