Meet Our Staff

It is an honor to serve as your Local Interim Pastor. I would love to share a bit about myself and connections we may have in common.

I was born and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, the youngest of three children. I completed my University training at James Madison with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Psychology. I immediately felt the Call to continue my studies at Gettysburg Theological Seminary, now known as United Lutheran Seminary. My journey was under the auspices of “Don’t leave without me “.  Or you get through this with a lot of help from your friends and the Holy Spirit. I have served two parishes, Commissioned as an Army Chaplain in the U.S.  Military and currently I am privileged to be a Chaplain at UPMC Children’s Hospital. I am excited to do ministry with you at Bethany and trust God to accompany us. As your Interim Pastor I expect to lead you in Sunday Worship Services, visit the sick and shut-ins and offer counseling as needed. I will attend various Committee meetings and shepherd you to the best of my ability. Please feel free to contact me with any needs or concerns. As the “Local Pastor “ I live in Upper St. Clair with my husband where we raised our four children, now adults. Three pugs and a cat round out our home.
