Staff

It is an honor and privilege to be the Southwest District Superintendent. I started my pastoral ministry at Liberty UMC as associate and interim lead pastor and then went to Concord Trinity UMC as their lead pastor. I grew up United Methodist and being a pastor is in my blood; my father was a Licensed Local Pastor and my uncle an elder and District Superintendent in Illinois.

I am originally from a small farm town in Illinois, and as a result, I am a Cubs and Bears fan! Being a pastor is my second career, the first being a physical therapist for 17 years. And I’m a mom, no matter how old they get: I have two college-aged daughters, one who goes to Mizzou and the other at Truman.
