My roots run deep in the Presbyterian church.  I grew up active in the youth groups, attended camp at Saugatuck, retreats at Stronghold, was ordained as the first youth Deacon, and was married, all at Community Presbyterian Church in Lombard.

I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration from Valparaiso University and received my MBA from Lewis University.  I worked in the corporate offices at Waste Management and Keebler Company, where I was as a Process Improvement Manager and a liaison between the I/T and Accounting departments.  My favorite job is being wife to Tom and mother to Jack, who is a student at Southern Illinois University.  We have lived in Naperville for 23 years and have been active at Knox almost all of that time.  I am excited to serve Knox as Financial Assistant.
