Rosa Ross
Ministry Fellow, UKirk Ewing

Rosa (she/her) thinks faith is a collage of different conversations: whispered words of comfort, shouts of social justice, discussions about what it means to be, and sometimes even jokes about the absurdity of God's beautiful creation. As a trans woman, she is particularly passionate about the process of full, unyielding inclusion of all people in this holy collage. Before coming to the MDiv program at Princeton Theological Seminary, Rosa grew up in Huntington, West Virginia and studied philosophy, religious studies, and classical studies at Marshall University where she is now an adjunct professor (teaching online). She can be spotted around town reading books, eating food, and walking her dog - a pug named Pugg.

Taylor Silvestri

Student Chaplain

Taylor (they/them) grew up in the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania, and has lived amongst mountains everywhere they've been since— Vermont, Colorado, upstate New York, Vermont again, upstate New York again-- but curiously not New Jersey. Why so much moving? Taylor spent their first career at universities, working in Residential Life, where a frequent change in scenery is common. Why work in Res Life? Well-- because they love college students. As a dual degree student (Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Christian Education and Formation) at Princeton Theological Seminary, Taylor is excited to merge their previous experience with the call to ministry God put on their life, which they first heard at 15-years-old. Taylor loves storytelling and poetry, believing both are integral to faith formation and practice.Hearing someone’s story is Taylor’s favorite thing—
they’d love to hear yours!
