Prior to working Unity Church of Hawai'i (UCoH), I worked 12 years in the Middle East and Europe in the United States Air Force and in Department of Defense as an Emergency Manager/Homeland Security Specialist and Anti-Terrorism Officer, respectively. Resigning from my position in June 2013 and following an inner call, I moved from overseas to Hawai'i, and was drawn to UCoH services and SEE classes. Within the scope of my time at UCoH, I became a Prayer Chaplain, Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT), served as a Pastoral Intern, Apprentice to the Senior Minister with a focus in Church Growth and Revitalization, Marketing and Social Media, and every position in-between. I love expressing my creative side and look forward to fresh, new ways of growing this spiritual community under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, under direction of the Senior Minister, and in alignment with the Vision and Mission.

I grew up attending a Unitarian church in my hometown of Ottawa and have been a member of Unity Hawaii for the past 5 years. I began here as a camera operator volunteer and took over the Media Director role from Owen Howson. I have a deep operations background and an ever-growing interest in technology. It is my joy and pleasure to work with an outstanding crew of volunteer camera operators and feel blessed to have excellent systems equipment to work with. This enables me to produce and help share our inspiring messages to a worldwide audience.
