Associate Director

Zoë is an ordained minister in the PC(USA) and a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, Long Island University Brooklyn, and St Lawrence University.

“It is my belief that education is an invitation to seeing and experiencing the world and oneself anew,” Garry says. “In our learning, we are charged with using this knowledge, love, and wonder to care for the world and our community. Theological education roots this charge and transformation in Christ, allowing us to holistically show up and lean into the beauty of our faith and tradition.”
