Hello! I’m Esther and I’m glad you’re here!

Let me tell you a little about myself.

I’m a Filipino-American who grew up in the Chicagoland. I’m passionate about helping college students become lifelong followers of Jesus. I earned a B.A. in Bible from Central Bible College (now part of Evangel University) and an M.M. in Piano Performance from Missouri State University. I’ve worked as an associate pastor in the Philippines, serving the music, youth, and college ministries. After moving to Missouri, I worked as a piano professor at Drury University. Over the years, I’ve always found myself doing college ministry. And I’m currently a senior ministry fellow at Manna Christian Fellowship, a campus ministry at Princeton University.

I love music, reading books, long conversations in coffee shops, and exploring museums and independent bookstores with her husband, Daniel.
