An almost 40 year resident of Marco Island, Vicki is not new to the workings of Marco Lutheran Church!  After realizing she had too much energy to remain retired, she is happy to be back working in the office.  Prior to working at MLC, Vicki was Director of Marketing for the Marco Island Area Chamber of Commerce for close to 25 years, allowing her the opportunity to learn much about the Marco Island business community and the City of Marco’s infrastructure.  With a history in art and graphic design, she is the designer of the City’s signature logo.

Vicki lives on Marco with her husband Tom.  She is proud of her close knit family of almost 40 siblings, nieces & nephews who all live on Marco Island and in Naples.
