The Rev. Jamie F. Eaddy, D. Min. has accepted the position as Director of Program Development. Being an essential voice at INELDA for the past year, Jamie stepped into her new role this April. She is a pastoral theologian, spiritual care practitioner, Loss Navigation Specialist™, and INELDA trained death doula. Dr. Eaddy is a 2015 Princeton University Black Theology and Leadership Institute Fellow. She received her Master of Divinity from The Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University. She earned her Doctor of Ministry from the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School and is currently pursuing certification in Thanatology. We welcome her into this new role!
Some of you may have already received some communication from Victoria Hunter, who recently joined us as INELDA’s Program Coordinator from her home in Fresno, Texas. Victoria spent the early part of her career working in corporate finance. Valuing compassion and integrity, Victoria embodies a spirit of gratitude in her work with INELDA. Outside of work, Victoria is a certified reiki practitioner, loves her pets, and is interested in health and wellness.
Lastly, we would also like to welcome Brent Marcy, our new Finance Coordinator. After working in event production and retail operations in New York City, Brent decided to follow his passion for restoring vintage furniture. He now lives in Brooklyn, working part-time in a furniture gallery and is excited to join INELDA as the “organization’s mission, offerings, and goals align with his own values and love for humanity.”
