Journey and Values

Journey with Unitarian Universalism

I have been a Unitarian Universalist for 18 years and it has been a wonderful part of my life that has brought love, community, growth, and joy.

I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all life and in this liminal point of history, we have the opportunity to reweave our society toward justice.

I have finished my Masters of Divinity degree, am in preliminary fellowship, and have served the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Chico as a contract minister. I did Clinical Pastoral Education at NIH and my Internship with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick.

I believe that we never actually do anything on our own and know that I rise up from the shoulders of giants. My family (given and chosen), mentors, professors, colleagues, and more. So many people have loved me into this place. man

I have had several preceding careers. I worked in medicine, retired from the military after 20 years of service, wrote policy and work in grants.

I believe we never stop learning, growing, transforming and becoming.

I look forward to co-creating a ministry of love, accompaniment, and care with the community.

Fiona and Nadia

Fiona, our golden retriever, is my running accountability partner, she accompanies me in my nature time and meditative space.

Nadia, our cat, likes to put in zoom appearances and sit on my hands when I try to type, both are present in my ministry.
