Nina was raised in northern California, in the heart of the Silicon Valley. She originally moved to the nation’s capital to work for the United States Congress which she did for just under a decade. After many years as the NCC Family Ministry Pastor, Nina now serves as the NCC Pastor of Ministries. She is also the Director of Church Partnerships for the newly launched Dream Collective – a network of church leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs. Check it out at thedreamcollective.com.

Growing up in California, Nina attended a performing arts high school which is possibly where she caught her flair for overly expressing emotions! She is a graduate of Westmont College in beautiful Santa Barbara. She received her Master’s in Ministerial Leadership from Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida. Nina is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Missiology through Southeastern University.

Nina and her husband, Joel, are the authors of Praying Circles Around Your Marriage. They are raising their three incredible kids on Capitol Hill, just steps from the United States Capitol and around the corner from at least five great coffee shops.
