Nominee’s Statement in Favor of Their Candidacy: As I enter my third term serving on the Bishop’s Committee and complete my second year as Senior Warden at St. Thomas in Temecula, I have developed a deep, practical understanding of parish governance, strategic stewardship, and collaborative leadership.

Serving at the parish level has shown me firsthand how diocesan vision translates into local ministry, and it has strengthened my dedication to creating communities where all people feel valued, embraced, and spiritually nourished. I am eager to bring this parish-grounded perspective to the Executive Council to help shape policies and initiatives that ensure every congregation across the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is an open and welcoming home for both current members and future generations of seekers of Christ’s love.
