I grew up in Lansing, Michigan surrounded by lakes, rivers, streams, and the working rhythms of General Motors factories. As a young adult I lived in Istanbul, Turkey for seven years where I discovered the heartbeat of my own religious life at the intersection of Islam, Christianity, Roman and Greek ruins, and the mysticism of Anatolia. Returning to the United States, I searched for a community that would harmonize with my emerging spiritual life. When I attended services at Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Oak Park, Illinois, I discovered a community of deep belonging, justice, and a spirit that inspired my own call to ministry. Unitarian Universalism offers a life affirming, lifesaving, message of hope, joy, and love. More than ever, I believe in the power of our faith to change the world. I have served congregations in New Jersey, New York, Chicago, and most recently Hamilton, Ontario where she was the interim minister for The First Unitarian Church of Hamilton.
