Hi, I’m Aeryn. I have been preaching in Bay Area churches since 2014 and am a recipient of the Hooper/Keefe Preaching Award at Fuller Theological Seminary, where I earned the MDiv degree. I currently serve alongside the pastoral team at First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley. I have also served as a pastoral associate at Oakland City Church and a chaplain at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Oakland.
I am the wife and covenant partner of Shan, and the mother of high school aged twins. Before leaving my position at J.P. Morgan to complete ordination in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), I spent 23 years as a leader in the global corporate finance industry.
