Carolyn Shimabukuro considers it a privilege to walk on campus and come along side students as they emerge as young adults. She notes “it is my prayer that I might help students experience the love and grace of God and to become life long passionate followers of Jesus Christ. While studying at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, I began serving AACF as an intern for JEMS. I staffed at UCLA, UC Irvine, CalState Northridge and on my return to the PNW, I serve as a campus minister at UW, JEMS PNW Director and a spiritual director for All Seasons Counseling.  Kristen and John are my two young adult children. In my leisure you can find me reading, mushroom hunting, downhill skiing and enjoying friends and sushi!”
