After 2 years as a "short-term-er", I'm excited to be returning to Tokyo as a long-term missionary on staff with Community Arts Tokyo and New Community Church (Shinagawa).
I am a pianist (accompanist and teacher), student of the Japanese language and culture, and avid appreciator of the arts. I enjoy conversations with friends over cups of tea, planning events, serving behind the scenes, hearing big ideas and helping make them happen one step at a time. I'm learning to love my neighbors, serve my community, and support church-planting in the heart of Tokyo.
Ultimately, my desire is to bask in the light of Christ, and warmly welcome others to join me.
