I am grateful for the opportunity to join together as we get to know each other.

My Background

God has always been faithful to direct my life even when I was not faithful at following.

I have a diverse background which I can appreciate. Christ pursued me through different Christian traditions. Baptized in the Lutheran Church when I was 10, finding forgiveness in a Nazarene church when I was 18, and finding relationship with God in an Assemblies of God church when I was 19, I am grateful of the many stream of religion that find their hope in Christ. I appreciate the diversity of worship and thought.

Raised in a welfare environment, joining the Air Force was one of the best decisions in helping me connect with so many phenomenal people and with myself. I started off as Security Police before becoming a Training Manager and getting my bachelor's in Adult Learning and Workforce Education. It was also during this time, in the midst of a continued experience of diversity that I found my journey towards being a chaplain.

After completing my Master's of Divinity focusing on Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Formation in 2007, I have been fortunate to serve as a chaplain in the hospital as part of a chaplain residency program, in hospice, and currently serving in the Air Force as a chaplain. I also have been able to be part of a cohort for the Mental Health Integration for Chaplain Services which has deepened my skillset. Being able to be part of others' lives during different times has been a privilege for me and I don't take it for granted.
