I am a religious professional with a passion for ecumenical and inter-faith relations. I have spent my professional career studying, writing about, and working with the Christian Churches and other faiths of the Mediterranean and Middle East. I permanently settled in the New York area due to my involvement with the Greek Orthodox Church, which I have been involved in as a volunteer, parish council member, and as an employee.

“I have a deep commitment to the vision of His All Holiness toward a world where we are all responsible stewards of our global community, and I am passionate about the preservation of our ancient Patriarchate in the city which is so important to me personally and to our shared history as Orthodox Christians.”
