I am excited to start a new journey here as the Parish Family Business Director! I have over 25 years of accounting and finance experience that I believe will benefit the parish. My passions are Mission Work and serving God through my church. I met my adopted daughter on a mission trip to Uganda in 2005. I now have five granddaughters who live in Uganda! At home, I enjoy sharing time with my husband Michael and hanging out with our pets. I love quilting, music and movies.
