I grew up in a rural community in northeastern Missouri and moved to St. Louis after high school.  I have a degree in Financial Accounting Systems from Maryville University.  I also have a degree in Business Administration from St. Louis Community College-Meramec.

In my free time, I enjoy reading mysteries (and belong to 2 mystery book clubs), watching tennis, collecting various antiques, and playing with my grey tabby, Mr. Murphy (mystery buffs may be able to figure out who he’s named after).

I attend several bible study groups throughout the year.  I also served with the M&M’s kitchen staff while attending Maryville.

Having been a member of Manchester UMC since 2011, I feel blessed to be working for my church home.
