Born in Sydney, Australia, I was baptized in the Church of England and confirmed in the Episcopal Church after moving to Los Angeles in 1962. In my early 20s I served as ECW President at St. Mary’s Church in Provo, Utah, where I lived for 8 years and where my two daughters, Marina and Katherine, were born. I returned in the late 70s and have made my home in the Diocese of Los Angeles ever since. Now grandmother to Wills and Sofia, who live in Northern California, I am actively involved in the Community Garden Project at my parish, The Church of the Holy Nativity, in Westchester, CA. I have served in various communications roles in the Diocese of Los Angeles, and in leadership roles with ECW and the Order of the Daughters of the King. My business, Trinity Web Consulting, serves non-profit organizations and small businesses with website development, database implementation, training, and marketing.
I love the Episcopal Church and believe that our greatest strength lies in the ECW organizations within parishes and dioceses, working together in mission and ministry and inspiring the next generations of Episcopal Women, who will follow the examples set by our mothers before us. Communicating our history, as well as our current story through all the forms of media available to us, keeps us connected and working together in that common mission. I look forward to communicating and serving for the next 3 years on the path to Triennial 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
