Vienna Cornish, Church Administrator

Vienna began attending the Hollywood Adventist Church in 2009 on the recommendation of a college friend after moving to Los Angeles from Northern California. After spending the majority of her youth on a small farm in Idaho where she appreciated a unique and varied childhood, she studied Film Production and French at Pacific Union College. Vienna is passionate about creation in its many forms, and as Administrator enjoys learning and exploring life through the unlimited range of situations presented to her at the church in the heart of such a diverse city.
