A lifelong Episcopalian, I was ordained to the priesthood in 2018, after working for many years in the field of Mental Health as a counselor, case manager, group therapy facilitator, and crisis worker. In 2012, I left my career in Mental Health to enter into discernment for the priesthood, a call that I have felt since childhood. I attended the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California, earning a Master of Divinity degree, was ordained, and served as the Assistant Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Auburn, California for two years. Next, I accepted a call to be the Rector of Saint David’s Episcopal Church in Gales Ferry, Connecticut, enjoying four years of ministry there in New England. In February of 2024, I returned to California after being called as Rector of All Saints Memorial Episcopal Church in Sacramento. In November of 2025, I was appointed to serve as the dean of the Capital Deanery in Sacramento, as well. I am committed to parish ministry and to helping churches thrive. I am passionate about pastoral care. I enjoy long walks, yoga, reading and gardening. I live in Sacramento, California with my husband, Eric. We are the parents of four grown sons. I am a member of the Society of Mary and the Daughters of the King.
