I am a Birthright UU born and raised in the First Universalist Church in Yarmouth, Maine. While there I served on Board committees in the 1980’s and 2000’s; as well as serving as the Director of Religious Education, DRE, for 4 years. Since then, I have been a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Asheville and served as the DRE from 1994-2000. Later, serving as the Board Clerk from 2020-2023.
Outside my work within the congregations, I have held multiple leadership roles within the Unitarian Universalist Association, UUA, from 2000-2013. I have also worked at The Mountain on two occasions: most recently as the Director of Development from 2016-2019.
My involvement within the Churches, UUA, and The Mountain have provided me the leadership experience needed to best serve the Nominating Committee. I gained a better understanding of funding, finances and faith development through my time on various boards, giving me a better understanding of the needs of The Mountain Board of Trustees.
I hope to bring these experiences and connections to the Nominating Committee to help support the Mountain’s mission, Staff, Board, and Leadership Committees.
