Meet Lara Profitt!

Greetings All Souls Family!

I’m excited to be joining this congregation as the Acting Director of RE. I have been working with Dolores over the past month on this transition and really appreciate all of the time and consideration she has put into preparing me for this role.

A bit about myself – I am a teacher by training. I began my teaching career in DC schools 20 years ago. Along the way I completed a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and moved into hybrid teaching/administrative roles in VA. 10 years ago I made the switch to UU religious education and truly enjoy it. I love being able to use my knowledge and experiences in settings that are aligned with my personal values.

I currently live in Loudoun County VA with my partner Rob, my three children (Matt (16), Ben (13), and Evelyn (9), and many cats. In my spare time I enjoy reading, attempting to switch out all of our landscaping plants to native plants, and taking the occasional nap.

I look forward to meeting the congregation! I am available by email, on Sunday mornings, and will post office hours shortly. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or just to say hi.

Best,

Lara

    Welcome, Lara! I’m looking forward to meeting you! My kids (now 23 and 21) went to all DC public schools, so thanks for your earlier work. They benefited greatly from All Souls RE and OWL, and I realize that more and more as they grow into young adulthood. Thank you so much for stepping into a tough act and some big sneakers to follow! Grateful to have you at All Souls, and looking forward to meeting you. XO
