An educator for most of her life -- a perspicacious 1st grade teacher had her coaching others when she was 6 -- Victoria Garvey has a passion for learning and teaching, and unsurprisingly, for the Church. In her professional career she has taught at nearly every level from 2nd graders through graduate school, but she has spent most of that teaching time at one of our seminaries [Seabury-Western in Evanston, IL] where she taught biblical languages and biblical theology, her doctoral area. Most recently, those passions for learning/teaching/Church were fed in her position as Bishop’s Associate for Lifelong Christian Formation in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago where she even got paid for doing what she loves. These days, she serves on two faculties for the wider church; consults with a couple of dioceses concerning congregational vitality; and she continues to speak locally, nationally and occasionally, internationally; facilitates workshops; leads retreats; and, in her spare time, serves the wider church as board member and committee member of several church-wide commissions as well as four-time deputy to General Convention.

Jamie teaches Forma’s children & family certificate track after serving as the organization’s president 2015-2017, continues facilitating Gathering of Leaders, and is relishing her sabbatical. In addition to being a graduate of Education for Ministry, Jamie holds a M.S. Ed. from Bank Street College of Education.
