Ellie Grace Lashier joins the ISM from Iowa State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in religious studies and music with an emphasis on piano performance. Her coursework in both disciplines sparked questions about how liturgical music and practices shape individuals and communities. She is especially interested in contemporary evangelical theatrical productions. Outside of the classroom, Ellie Grace finds joy in creating and listening to music. On any given day, she might be found teaching piano lessons, attending live music performances (particularly folk or bluegrass), or serving a congregation as a church pianist.
