Traci serves as the School Chaplain and Director of Youth Services at Church of the Good Shepherd, where she brings her love of children, faith, and storytelling together to nurture the spiritual growth of young hearts.
Traci holds two Associate Degrees and has completed both Core and Advanced Training in Godly Play storytelling. Godly Play is a Montessori-inspired approach to Christian formation that invites children to explore Scripture through storytelling, wondering, and play.
In her ministry, Traci thoughtfully follows the Episcopal liturgical calendar, connecting the stories she shares with the seasons and traditions of the Church. Through her work with preschool children, Sunday School, and family ministries, she strives to create a welcoming environment where children feel loved, valued, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with God.
Outside of church, Traci enjoys baking, playing golf, and spending time with her beloved dog, Poppy.
Above all, Traci considers it a blessing to walk alongside children and their families as they discover the wonder of God's love.
