My story begins in southern California where I was born. I have lived in several places through out this beautiful state. I met my husband Adolfo in Walnut Creek and we were married in 1977. We have a son Matthew and a daughter Kristina. I have two granddaughters who have become my greatest joy.

I enjoy spending time with my family, working in the yard and taking my dog to the park. Adolfo and I have taken up tennis to help us get the exercise that we need and to have some fun together.

We moved to Windsor from Paradise in 1995 for employment reasons. Adolfo got a permanent job in San Rafael and I had just graduated from Butte College with a degree in Engineering Drafting Technology. I had my plan to quickly get a job as a drafter. God had a different plan. For the first year in Windsor I worked as a caregiver at Chancellor Place. The Lord used this job to instill patience in me and to do a little pruning as well. I know God accepts me for who I am, but He loves me too much to leave me this way.

After a year of what I considered "being in the valley" I got a job for a tool company in Petaluma where I worked for six years. When I look back at my time at Chancellor Place I now thank God for his love and faithfulness. He not only used this time for refining me but he blessed me with my best friend Debbie of ten years now. I still go through "valley" times, but I now look at them differently. I keep reminding myself how faithful God is and that He will bring me through victoriously.

Since I left my job as a drafter I have enjoyed serving people as a real estate agent. It is much more rewarding for me to spend time with people and to help them with their real estate needs.

I have been a Christian since I was a teenager and have actively served in the church for the past twenty years. I have served in various areas of ministry including: nursery, hospitality, administration, prayer and music. I feel honored by God to now be given the significant responsibility of serving as a church leader. I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me and for Shiloh church. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will guide me with discernment and wisdom as I serve Him and the congregation at Shiloh.
