I was born right here in St. Petersburg Florida. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful life. I married my high school sweetheart Pete and we have two beautiful children, Ryan and Amber and if that wasn't enough blessing He has brought, just recently into my life three precious grandchildren, Brianna, Cameron and Ava.

I graduated from Seminole High School and attended St. Petersburg College.

My family and I have been coming to Oakhurst since 1988. We feel that this is where the Lord has put us and we are grateful for all of the friends we have met along the way. This is truly our spiritual family in every sense of the word.

In 2004 I felt a very strong calling to apply for the position of Office Manager here at Oakhurst. I applied for the job knowing full well that this was where God wanted me but also knowing that I was probably not the most qualified for the job (just the way God works isn't it). Staff Parish blessed me by recognizing this call on my life and taking a leap of faith by hiring me. For that I am grateful. I have never regretted one single day here. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the Lord and the Oakhurst congregation and I look forward to many more years if that is God's will for me.

My hobbies and interests are photography and graphic design. I also love to sing with the praise team.

I will forever be grateful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for always being with me, holding my hand through every situation I have ever walked through and for putting the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I am especially grateful for my wonderful family. What a blessing they are to me. My most favorite times are when we are together.  I am also thankful for my church family. Every day I am blessed to be around such wonderful people. I can see Jesus in their faces all the time.

My favorite scripture verses are: (They change all the time)

 Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
