Grants and Donor Relations Coordinator | cwest@parablemedia.org

My love of storytelling and missional innovation began after graduating from Campbell University in 2017, when I spent the summer serving with the Welcome House Ministries team. Through my new refugee friends and the churches that called them neighbors, I witnessed the power of storytelling and the value of faith-based ministry.

While serving in a variety of nonprofit development contexts, I went on to earn a Certificate in Faith-Based Nonprofit Leadership from Wake Forest, followed by a Masters in Divinity from Duke University. I am a social entrepreneur, ordained minister, root beer and sour patch kids fanatic, and certified bookworm who is professionally serving in the conservation and sustainable economic development space. Oh and perhaps most importantly, I have been married to my best friend, Melissa, for the last two years.

I love getting to invite others to participate in the gospel-driven, missional, innovative work that is taking place around the camera at Parable Media. If you know of anyone who wants to help make our work possible, I would welcome the connection!
