As a parish nurse, my mission is to support and promote Christ-centered health and wellness of body, mind, and spirit through a congregational health ministries. My role is that of an integrator of faith and health, a health educator, a personal health counselor, a referral agent, a trainer of volunteers and a developer of support groups.
  
I report directly to the Senior Pastor and work with the Health and Wellness Advisory Committee and the Board of Human Care to promote the health ministry of Marco Lutheran.

My education includes a Nursing Diploma from Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, New York, a Bachelor’s degree from Long Island University and a Master’s and Doctorate from Columbia University, New York. I was a college professor at Adelphi University, NY for much of my professional life. I received my Parish Nursing Certificate from the International Parish Nurse Resource Center, Missouri.
I believes that all my education and life experiences have helped prepare me for this wonderful health ministry.
