Born in Wyoming, my family moved to Hawaii when I was a young girl.  I grew up in the Episcopal Church and carry with me a deep love for the tradition and ministry of the Church, believing that God’s hope for creation is carried out through the life of the Church.  I made the trek from the Episcopal to the Methodist church in my early twenties when I moved to Texas and became a member of Lake Houston United Methodist Church.  The good folks there raised me in the faith and taught me what it meant to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. 

I taught and served as librarian in several public high schools before entering ministry.  In 1994 I experienced a pull from education to ministry and began to wonder, first internally then in conversations with others, if God truly was calling me into full time ministry.  To this day, I’m grateful for the people who tenderly shepherded me into understanding my call.

Between 1996 and 2004 I attended seminary, went through the process of ordination and received an appointment to my first charge, Durkee and Rose Garden United Methodist churches.  Again, I’m grateful to the folks in both churches for the ways in which they guided and loved me in the beginning years of my ministry.

Serving Klein United Methodist church as one of its pastors has blessed me in many ways.  I love the spirit of mission and ministry here at KUMC that says, “let’s do that……let’s go there………let’s be God’s people.”   The very best that KUMC has to offer this community is what it puts out there every day…….it’s heart for serving Jesus Christ.
