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.
