During her academic training at Wesley, she worked in several churches as Student Minister.  From January 1992 - May 1993, she worked at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. and received training in preaching, teaching, and Christian Education.  The church of the Presidents, the N.Y.A. Presbyterian church has a strong civic orientation with an emphasis on community outreach programs!  Rev. Koroma was especially excited to participate in its "Meals on Wheels" community outreach program.  She was also happy to gain knowledge of the late Dr. Peter Marshall who was not only pastor emeritus of the congregation, but a U.S. Senate Chaplain.  Her field education training also included service at Eldbrooke United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C.
