I am honored to be considered for the Nominating Committee of the Swedenborgian Church of North America. I was born and raised just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. I moved around for many years, settling in Ohio ultimately. I received a B.F.A. from Ohio University in 2001. I joined the Urbana Swedenborgian Church many years ago, and since then I have been involved in the service of the church and denomination in many ways. At the church, in addition to co-leading worship services with Rev. Betsy Coffman, I have created an Outreach Committee and an Archive and Research Committee, as well as leading the Wedding Committee. I have been Recording Secretary for the Ohio Association for several years and created an Archive Committee for our Association. On a wider scale, I am Secretary for Deborah’s Tree and for the Rainbow Committee. I also am part of the Convention’s Library and Documents Committee. I would be very pleased and excited to serve the church in yet another way. Thank you.
