Welcoming Our Newest Staff Members

1. Transparency – My theology and philosophy of church finances is that none of it is mine.  Therefore, in my interactions with other commissions as well as the general church; I will do all in my power to make sure that I provide clear, easy to understand and transparent reporting.
2. Accountability – There will be a set of financial policies and procedures which will be agreed upon by the Finance, Administration, Pension and Benefits Commission.  It will be imperative that these policies provide guardrails in which the business of the church can journey while being accountable; but also not restricting the work of the church.
3. Integrity – We have one chance at building the trust of the church while it is still in its infancy.  The only way to build that trust is through acting in all matters with integrity.  There is no such thing as a small decision that doesn’t require our full attention in being an organization that puts forth integrity as a primary value.

I am a devoted wife and mother, married to my high-school sweetheart, Chad. Together, we are raising our four young daughters in the beautiful state of New Mexico.

I attended Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, where I received a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Immediately after graduation, I began working in the office of a Christian camp, where I had worked during my college summers. With nine years of experience in that office, I honed my skills in administration and finance. Although the camp was an ideal environment for our family, the demands of my job made regularly attending church challenging. Despite our efforts to stay involved, Chad and I ultimately decided to move to ensure our children could grow up actively engaged in our church community.

Our family moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico, where Chad and I both served on staff at Grace Methodist Church. I took on the role of Treasurer and was also actively involved in the Worship Arts program. Additionally, I worked part-time as the Financial Secretary of Community Methodist Church in Ruidoso, New Mexico. I serve on the Finance Committee of the West Plains Conference and on the Board of Directors at Sacramento Camp and Conference Center.

I was a delegate to the convening General Conference of the Global Methodist Church and served as the secretary of the Episcopacy Committee. During the General Conference, I felt God calling me to be a leader in the Global Methodist Church and have been actively seeking God’s guidance ever since. This calling led me to serve as the finance chair on the General Conference Commission of the Global Methodist Church and to accept the role of Bookkeeper for the denomination. I look forward to stepping into these new roles and living out the calling God has placed on my life.

I have a deep love for the church and am dedicated to shaping the Global Methodist Church in whatever way God leads me.
