We are excited to invite you to be a part of the search for our next Music Director! Katie S. (she/her) is a finalist in our search and will visit Foothills and guest lead music on Sunday and Monday in a variety of settings. Katie is visiting us from Chandler, Arizona where she currently serves at the Music Director at Valley Unitarian Universalist.
She has a passion for leading UU congregations in music that inspires, transforms, and aligns with our principles. She has a bachelor’s degree in Music Education with an emphasis in choral, piano and vocal performance, a master’s degree in Adult Education and Training, and is certified in Transformational Life Coaching. Katie and her husband are both accomplished musicians and they share three children and two dogs.
Katie has completed several initial stages of interviewing, including a written interview and two interviews via Zoom with ministers, staff and the Music Director Hiring Committee. She’s also been working with our worship staff for the last two weeks helping to shape the service that she will co-lead with us.
We hope you’ll take one or all of the opportunities to engage with Katie, help her get a sense for our church and help us get a sense for who she is as a music leader.
