Born and raised in Germany, I have been in the States since 2011 and have lived in southeastern Indiana, Boston, and southwestern Minnesota before arriving in Plymouth at the end of 2021. I am fascinated by Bible Stories and reading deeply into the texts to figure out how they might be relevant to our lives today, in a rapidly changing world that leaves so many behind. Homelessness and hunger prevention and support for those who have already lost their homes and/or become food insecure is one of my main priorities, as is violence and suicide prevention and truly listening to our children and youth, working with them to address the issues that are important to them and their future. I am constantly trying to learn and improve, especially when it comes to racial justice and the Land Back movement, though I am not anywhere near as knowledgeable as I want and need to be. That will be a lifelong learning and studying process! When I get home I am usually greeted (read, getting yelled at) by my cat Sushi, who is the biggest snuggle bug (on her own terms). I usually always listen to some kind of music (anything from classical to modern pop and rock) while I work and at home, love watching movies to wind down at night or while I do things around the apartment, and am trying to read more again (book recommendations always welcome!). That was me, who are you?
