Before coming to full-time ministry, I served in public welfare for ten years and dabbled in several other fields including mental health and assisted living. My journey to ministry has been a circuitous one, yet the call to serve God’s people has been loud and clear since adolescence. I have lived all over the United States and enjoyed traveling abroad. In all this adventuring, God laid it on my heart of serve others. My undergraduate degree is in International Studies from a small school in Roanoke, Virginia, Hollins University. My Master of Divinity degree is ultimately from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois; although I also studied at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California. Because my M. Div. is from an Episcopal seminary, I will continue my education with a Course of Study to focus on Wesleyan studies.
