Hometown: My hometown has been relocated so many times to different places, I’m not sure which would be considered “home”! Originally from Springfield, Ohio, our family moved to Concord, New Hampshire  in my childhood years. College, Bible school, and the first 17 years of marriage were spent in upstate New York, eight following years were spent in San Antonio, Texas, and the last six months we lived in the U.S. were in Los Angeles, California. All of those places hold special memories of home!

Educational background: I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications, a nearly completed Teaching Certification for Early Childhood Education, and Certification for Counseling acquired during the period of Chaplaincy at Juvenile Detention facilities in Texas.

Hobbies: I love to walk in the woods and fields surrounding Heiligenkreuz every spare moment I can find. I enjoy cooking, playing tennis, generally being outdoors, and learning to speak Geman.

Best part about my job:  The greatest blessing I have here is the steady stream of brothers and sisters in Christ’s body whose lives have intersected with mine in this place.  I have seen the beauty in the diversity of the nations, cultures and languages that God will delight to preserve throughout eternity.  Now, I personally have had the opportunity to experience the “unity in diversity” that touches the heart of God with such joy.
