I am your new intern minister QuianaDenae Perkins.

I am originally from Minnesota and currently live in Ann Arbor Michigan. I am the mama bear of two teenage cubs. When I am not driving them around, I love being outdoors- hiking, camping, and nature photography are some of my favorite activities.

At this stage of my ministerial formation, interning for SOUUP is the perfect fit. There is a great deal of alignment between the needs of each community and my skills + desired areas of learning. We are starting from a place of abundance and joy!

Things to know:

• My general work schedule is Sunday, Tuesday through Friday.
• My primary work location will be Ann Arbor Michigan in the eastern time zone.
  • (SOUUP 6:00 pm is my QuianaDenae 9:00pm).
• I can be reached by email: minister@rvuuf.org
• VISIT: I will be visiting the area Sept 21-25. Please look in your community newsletter for more details on in person events and gatherings.

Where to find me:

I am very excited about this coming year. I see the potential we have to grow together! In our social justice movement work, in our faith, and our sacred covenant to each other. Thank you for this opportunity!
