Summary

I have been serving and volunteering within the local church for over 20 Years. Volunteer experience has ranged from youth leader, bible study facilitator, mentor, event planning and public speaking. 6 years ago my husband and I planted SLO City church together where we planned, developed, fund raised and established a church from the ground up, which now averages over 1,000 in attendance. In this process I have demonstrated expertise in discipleship, pastoral care, event planning, and leadership development. I have proven my ability to mentor, teach, and empower volunteers, while creating impactful ministry programs. Many of my years have been spent prioritizing my family as a stay-at-home mom, where I developed strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills, managing the complexities of family life while balancing ministry responsibilities. I am skilled at fostering community, spiritual growth, and providing compassionate support to diverse population.
