I have completed my studies in the New York School of Ministry’s Word and Sacrament (Ordination) Program. Trained as a geologist, I was an Earth Science, Earth History and Environmental Science teacher at SUNY Cortland for over 10 years; and most recently at Ithaca High School, where I taught ninth-grade Earth Science for 10 years. For fun, I enjoy tent-camping in the Adirondacks, traveling in the Western US, photography, baking, writing, sewing and crocheting.
