A midwesterner by birth (go Buckeyes!), my career and the CA sunshine brought me out to the Monterey Bay area in August of 2019. When I started attending Epiphany Lutheran & Episcopal Church in November of 2019, the genuine warmth, remarkable diversity, and dedicated heart of service I observed among the clergy and congregation immediately attracted me to this new church home. In August of 2021, I was called to step in as the Bishop’s (aka Senior) Warden and have been discovering how rewarding it is to serve with such a supportive and thoughtful team of Lutheran and Episcopal Board members. On the weekends, you may find me hiking along the mountain and beach trails or checking out a winery in the countryside with my husband, Eric.
