About

God had a plan when He called me back to school and into ministry on April 23, 2018. I completed my associate's degree with a 4.0 GPA and am now working on my bachelor's degree in the same field. I am attending Grace Christian University, online. My virtual graduation is planned for May 2, 2020, @ 11:30 am.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I have submitted my paperwork to be a pastor in the Church of God. At this point, I am open to almost anything but will, as always, depend on God to point me in the right direction. I worked as a nurse for 23 years and retired in 2014 and never expected to go back to school but God had other plans for me.

Graduate school interests

At this moment, I do not have any plans to attend Grad School but that may change.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies, when I have the time are quilting and cooking. I enjoy making quilts for the family as well as for others and giving them away. I am an accomplished cook and love to entertain in a relaxed way.
