Jodi was born in Indiana, raised in Michigan, and settled in Florida before making her way to DC in 2012 to be a protégé at Ebenezers Coffeehouse—combining her love for the local church, missions, and coffee. Following the program, she’s landed on the Discipleship Team and is passionate about helping to set the stage for all who walk into the doors at NCC to encounter the life-changing message of Jesus.

Jodi reads books about organization for fun, comes alive when she’s watching the sunrise in the Shenandoah, rejuvenates when she’s in nature and hiking, enjoys gathering people around a dinner table, and if you’re familiar with Myers-Briggs, she’s a textbook E/ISFJ.
