and paralegal; however, my artistic family persuaded me to pursue the world of fine art, which ultimately led me to beautiful Jackson Hole sixteen years ago. Since I moved here from Arizona, I’ve been employed by several art galleries, the most recent of which is Astoria Gallery, where I currently work on a part-time basis. I was also privileged to work for Dr. Brent Blue for two years, before transitioning to PCJH in April as your new Coordinator of Congregational Life. I am an active member in CERT (Citizens Emergency Response Team), the American Red Cross and the Howdy Pardners Ambassador Club in conjunction with the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. It is a blessing and honor to have been chosen for this position. Yes, I am a bit overwhelmed, but I look forward to working with our wonderful Congregation coordinating volunteers and facilitating many of our various events, along with the assistance of a very supportive staff. What could be more delightful than to work in a position I love and serve our Heavenly Father at the same time! We currently have many devoted volunteers within our Congregation, but we are always seeking others to serve in many capacities; without you, our many church functions would be hindered. If you are seeking a meaningful way to serve our Lord, please feel free to contact me at any time. God bless all of you. I sincerely look forward to serving you. Thank you for your continuing support and encouragement.
