Deborah Ann Tripoldi first came to UUCM in August 2017 to do a newspaper story on the “new” ministers. She decided she belonged here shortly thereafter, signing the membership book in June 2018. She is the leader of the AV Tech Team; co-leader of the Young Adults and Young at Heart (YaYah) group; and the former leader of the Communications Team. She is a member of Allies for Racial Equity, Poetry Group, and Art and Soul and volunteers for many of our UUCM activities, including the annual Bash and the RE Adult Social. She also established and is the leader of our CUUPs chapter. Deborah Anne graduated from Caldwell University in 2000, where she earned a degree in art. Soon after graduation, she went back to study journalism. She is a journalist/photographer for TAPinto Nutley, a local online newspaper. Through her work on the Tech Team, she discovered her love for the AV field.
