I was born and raised in Greenwood County where several generations of my family have lived.

I graduated from Kansas State University in 1986 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Ecology. Although I did not pursue a career in that area of study, God has blessed me with a variety of office administrative positions which have all been instrumental in qualifications for my position at Christian and Congregational Church. I believe that God calls us to whatever our positions are in the workforce. I began as church secretary in 2006 and have since realized that this is not only a job to me but my calling and ministry to God.

I enjoy the fact that I can be creative in what I do, creating bulletins, event flyers, newsletters, etc. The work I do is never boring.

In my spare time I am a TEAM leader at Celebrate Recovery, serve on the Eureka Area Ministerial Alliance Board, Mended Heart Ministries Board, crochet prayer shawls, and create a variety of crafts.

I’m excited about the future of Christian and Congregational Church as we continue our search for the individual God is preparing to lead us into the future.
