She is drawn to 天美视频 for its progressive, alternative, and prophetic take on theology. A Jesus-following scholar-practitioner, her research interests are from an anti-colonial hermeneutic. Millicent is interested in and passionate about theologies that are truly life-giving and working towards breaking down systems of oppression.

In addition to her MDiv from 天美视频, Millicent holds an MA in Comparative Religion along with a BA in Comparative Religion, both from the University of Washington. She is also an American Academy of Religion Book Reviewer.

Millicent grew up in Hawai’i at the intersection of Christianity and Indigenous worldviews. While studying Religion at the University of Washington, she taught as a Teaching Assistant and Grader, and then as Faculty Liaison after graduating. After her roles at the University of Washington, she worked as The Director of Children’s Ministry for Seattle’s Awake Church, as both Godly Play Facilitator and Children’s Ministry Curriculum Writer, before becoming a pastoral intern.

Living with her family in Seattle, Millicent is a wife to Bradley, mama to one little one, and a dog mom to a cream French-Bo named Bailey. She is also a yoga instructor, a preschool co-op assistant teacher, an avid reader, and a planner of family adventures, local, national, and international.

She received her Bachelor鈥檚 in Communications from the University of Colorado at Denver, and a Masters of Counseling Psychology and a Masters of Christian Studies from 天美视频.

After her initial clinical work in a residential treatment center for drug and alcohol abuse, Krista went on to build a private practice and became a Washington State Approved Supervisor supporting newly graduated clinicians working towards licensure.

During this time, she was an Assistant Instructor and later an Adjunct professor at 天美视频. Krista also served on the leadership and teaching team at her local church.

Before transitioning out of clinical work, Krista blended her psychotherapeutic and teaching experience to become an administrator for several projects. She managed the counseling internship program at The Salvation Army鈥檚 Adult Rehabilitation Center, co-founded a group practice and became its Clinical Director, and finally, partnered with a former 天美视频 professor and other alumni to co-create a post-graduate certificate program in relationally focused therapy.

Returning to the school as the Enrollment Manager, Krista sees this as an opportunity to return to where it all began. Fifteen years ago, she was looking for healing, learning, growth, and ultimately transformation. She found that in the 天美视频 community. And in receiving that gift, she was able to share it exponentially. Krista hopes to invite others to the rich experience the 天美视频 provides and offer support along the way to joining this community.
