Native of south Texas, I lived in Michigan for over 20 years. I completed my degree in Business Administration and was employed as an accountant and controller at two manufacturing firms in Grand Rapids. I left Michigan to go to Florida and care for my parents. Ended up going to seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, on the way to Florida. Discerning a call to full time ministry in the church, I felt I needed to pursue it. After seminary, my husband and I moved to Jacksonville, Florida, to help my parents while I awaited a call to a congregation. In 2009, we moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, where I am now a pastor. My mom lives with us. My dad joined the church triumphant in Sept. 2012. Michael and I were married in 2004. We have 4 children and 4 grandchildren.
