Clergy & Staff

Courtney feels blessed that her first call in the UCC is marked by the support and empowerment of Village Church’s Pastoral Residency.

Courtney recently served in New York City (where she grew up) as Chaplain Intern at Bellevue, the nation’s oldest public hospital. Her summer there fostered her commitment to trauma-informed pastoral care and housing justice, and the experience provided fertile ground to seek God’s presence amidst our suffering.

A proud alumna of the College of the Holy Cross, Courtney now delights in making another home in Massachusetts. After studying Psychology and Religious Studies in Worcester, she taught Religion to third, fourth, fifth, and eleventh grade girls/young women at her alma mater Marymount School of New York. She then left the northeast for a year to share life in the L’Arche Jacksonville community, a faith-based home for adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. These formative ministerial experiences deepened her passion for gender equity and disability justice and led her to divinity school. In May 2025, Courtney graduated from Yale Divinity School with a diploma from Andover Newton Seminary (now at Yale). She left with a full heart and (a perhaps even fuller) bookshelf.

A relative newcomer to the UCC, Courtney wholeheartedly believes that “God is still speaking.” She is excited by the proximity between Wellesley/Weston and her home church, Waquoit Congregational Church (East Falmouth), who is journeying with her as Member in Discernment for UCC ordination. Outside of church, Courtney loves being “Aunt CoCo,” going for walks, sending snail mail, playing board games, and learning about others’ passions.
