Thirty-two-year-old Roxanne Birchfield wears many hats, to say the least. Some may recognize her from her stint on season 25 of Survivor or from her growing wedding-officiant business, Married by Rev Roxy, but the list does not end there.
The ‘06 Penn State University grad earned her Masters of Divinity degree in 2014, and is a captain in the United States Army Reserves in the position of Battalion Chaplain, serving more than 600 soldiers. She is also a Clinical Chaplain with St. Luke’s Hospice and is a contracted Chaplain with Geisinger Health Network.
Her volunteer experience is just as extensive. Birchfield gives her time to organizations relevant to her Mrs. Pike County platform of spiritual and mental health. She has raised money for Young Life Tri-States, a Pike County ministry that serves the multicultural community, focusing on kids in economically depressed areas; The Headstrong Project, which provides free mental-health services to veterans; and Victoria’s Voice, an organization that aims to reduce drug experimentation, addiction and overdose death.
Birchfield has volunteered her time with the VFW of Stroudsburg, dedicated to supporting the veteran community, and with the Kiwanis Club of the Stroudsburgs, which addresses the needs of the local youth community of Monroe County.
