I am living in Pacific Beach after moving to California from Steubenville, Ohio in 2002.

Graduated from Bethany Christian High School in Goshen, Indiana and received certification in Church Business Administration from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.

Raised in the Mennonite tradition and later joined the United Methodist Church where I continue to hold my membership and to live out my understanding of the teachings of Jesus. I am especially passionate about ministry to and with "the least of these brothers and sisters of mine". I am excited about the many outreach ministries of Christ Lutheran Church both in the neighborhood, the community and around the world.

I have 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. One of my daughters and her family live in Honolulu, Hawaii, another daughter with her family live in Copley, Ohio and the other in Summerville, South Carolina.

I started my employment with Christ Lutheran Church as the Director of Administration on June 1, 2002. Overseeing the day-to-day operations; from personnel to facilities. I count it a great blessing and privilege to be at a place where there is great vision and energy for ministry.

The spiritual gifts, which I bring, are organization and administration as well as listening and encouraging. With God's help I use these gifts to maintain a team spirit within the staff, oversee the wonderful campus of CLC and enable persons to find ways in which they can become an active and vital part of the ministry.

When you are in Pacific Beach please stop in at Christ Lutheran Church and give me the opportunity to meet you and show you around.
