I have been in the role of St. Mark's Office Administrator since July of 2024. I bring to St. Mark's the skills and wisdom that I've developed in over 25 years of serving within Church communities. I retired as a Resource Specialist, Communication Specialist, and as a Safe Environment Coordinator. In other roles I have been technical support for a large corporation, and I am an ALICE certified instructor. I served for over 8 years as the Executive Director of Communications for a nonprofit. I have led large scale metro-wide command centers searching for the missing and trafficked. I am one of the most trained victim advocates in the nation for the missing. I have run career transition groups (job clubs) since the 90's: Nativity's Career Transition Group (past) and Kansas City Metro Networking Job Club (current). I have done public speaking as well as being interviewed by local and national media and written up in or received acknowledgement in several books. In 2018, I received my Master of Science in Psychology from Divine Mercy University. When I have free time, you can find me hanging out with my 6 grandchildren. My three youngest grandchildren live and attend school (East Antioch and SM North) all within walking distance of St. Mark's.
