I was born in Southern CA, and moved to Santa Rosa during my early school years and lived with my grandparents from then on. I graduated from SRHS and attended the SRJC, and although I have lived in other states over the years, Santa Rosa will always feel and be “home” to me!
I attended a Bible school in Michigan after the SRJC, and spent many years in a pastoral family serving in a variety of ministries while raising our three now adult children.
We moved back to Santa Rosa in ‘99, and since then I’ve served full time on a local church staff for several years and then at a local Christ-centered non-profit until the recent pandemic ended that full time ministry and position as their Dir. of Hospitality. While there, I completed a two-year training program towards certification in Spiritual Direction and Retreats.
I love music, reading and contemplative spirituality, and I adore my four grandkids! I’m happy and very hopeful to serve you here at FUMC as your Senior Ministry Coordinator!
