a few more years shall roll

So, in the ten minutes before I leave for choir practice, I thought I’d write a quick announcement.

Life as I know it is shortly going to change. I’ve been working for the past (almost) seven years at Penn, where I also spent four years as an undergraduate. In some ways, this campus feels like home. I enjoy my job, I appreciate my colleagues, and I have grown professionally here.

Yet, I’m leaving. I announced to my office co-workers on Friday that I’ll be starting a new position at my church in November. The official title is Missions Coordinator, and I’ll be working closely with the Missions Pastor both in communicating with our workers overseas and educating the congregation about work going on in Philadelphia and around the world. (there are a few other pieces to the job description–but for now, that will do). It’s an exciting opportunity, a huge challenge, and a complete change from my current work.

That’s the brief version. I’ll write more when I don’t have choir practice to run to!
