After working in Project Management in Retail Banking for 10+ years, I graduated from Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN in 2000 and returned to California for full time ministry. I was ordained into the ELCA’s Word and Sacrament ministry in 2001 with a call to serve in Hawthorne, CA: married in 2002, became a mother in 2006; served several local LA congregations; and called as Assistant to the Bishop from 2008 to 2013. Most recently, I have served in part-time Interim Ministry, helping congregations discern their needs for future leadership.
