Welcome! I’m Mattanah.
Pilgrim. Storyteller. Friend. coach. MArketing & Communications enthusiast.
I’m passionate about telling the stories of the global church and raising awareness and support for underrepresented communities.
A little about what I’m doing right now (if you’re interested, that is—if not, skip to the end and let’s connect!)…
My role at present is Vice President of Marketing & Communications at Passages—managing public relations, marketing and advertising, brand growth, research, and creative services. I also serves as a spokesperson to Passages' constituents and partners.
Years before joining Passages full-time in 2020, I completed the program as a student and volunteered multiple times to lead trips to Israel with Passages. Through my involvement with Passages, I made it my mission to help Christian students grow in their faith and leadership through travel to Israel and, as a result, become allies and friends to the Jewish community.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Photojournalism from Union University, my Professional Coaching Certification from CoachU which emphasized transformational leadership techniques, and a certification from Emory University on Communicating During Global Emergencies. I’m also working toward my MA in Contextual Leadership from Pillar Seminary.
In addition to my work at Passages, I’m a writer and speaker on topics of spiritual formation and leadership development. Living in the DFW area, I enjoy fine art photography and spending time outdoors!
