Kelsey Hanson Woodruff's unique journey began in a Catholic family, evolving from altar girl to Presbyterian minister, and now a Harvard Ph.D. candidate. Her scholarly focus is on American religion and its societal implications, rooted in her upbringing and influenced by educational role models, particularly her godparents. A transformative encounter with Buddhism during her studies at Stanford ignited her passion for religious studies, leading her to combine education with her ministry experience in various congregations across the United States.
"I have always been interested in religion, because to me, the question of why humans are here and how they make meaning is important..."
"They set an example for me, that your ministry can be lived out in your personal life as well as in the classroom."
