Biography I
was born and raised in a suburb just north of Boston, Massachusetts although
I lived in Missouri for a total of almost 22 years. I did not start attending church until I
was in the fifth grade. The Church was
a small United Methodist congregation where I had been baptized as an infant. I came to the Episcopal Church during my
studies at St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, Missouri. I credit my four years at an all-girls
Roman Catholic High School and John Wesley’s emphasis on the Eucharist for
bringing me into the Episcopal Church.
I am also a great lover and avid student of the liturgy. In my down time, I love to read and try to include daily
“me” reading even if it is only a chapter or two. I especially love the classics such as Jane
Austen, William Shakespeare, and Charles Dickens. I enjoy reading mysteries as well. Agatha Christie and Louise Penny are two of
my favorite mystery authors. I also
enjoy walking and being outdoors.
Horseback riding and camping are two of my favorite things to do
outside. Travelling is a passion of
mine, especially abroad. I have been
to the Holy Land, England (5 times), Greece (3 times), Rome, Paris, Spain and Portugal.
My favorite place to go, however, is to be with family and to spoil my
3 nephews, 2 nieces, and 1 great-nephew and 1 great niece. I am currently owned by a cat, a Bombay
named Shalimar. I had almost constant ear infections as a child which has
impaired my hearing. I do wear hearing
aids. I ask that you please face me
and have eye contact with me when you would like to speak with me. If you are behind me or to my side, I do
not hear as well. I am not ignoring
you or meaning to be rude. I am so grateful
to be here with you at All Saints’. I
look forward to our ministry together.
