With a heart for service and mind for organization, Goli is honored to help St. Matthew’s run smoothly behind the scenes as the Parish Administrator.
Goli grew up in Walnut Creek, California. She followed in her parents’ footsteps by attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and received a bachelor’s degree in business administration. While she enjoyed her spare time in various clubs and sports, the best part of her experience was meeting her now husband, Sam, and being introduced to our Loving God through him.
Goli and Sam eventually explored traditional forms of Christianity and discovered the beautiful Anglican liturgy—a piece of heaven on earth. The two have been at St. Matthew’s since November 2024 after relocating to Long Beach, California, to be close to family.
Goli additionally participates as a soprano in the St. Matthew’s choir. While on her own, she enjoys drawing landscapes, strolling through delightful little downtown streets, singing classical music, learning about women’s fashion, and selling homemade sourdough bread.
