Hello

My Story

Church Experience:  I have been a member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Sunnyvale, CA, since 1984. I served on the vestry three times, including three terms as senior warden and two terms as junior warden. Additionally, I was a Delegate to the Diocesan Convention for ten years and served on the Resolutions Committee for three years, leading the committee for one of those years. Most recently, I facilitated the 2025 Vestry Retreat for St. Thomas.

​

High Tech Experience:  With over 42 years in the high-tech industry, I began my career in electrical engineering and later transitioned into project management. I have 16 years of project management experience, including more than a decade facilitating team processes for software development teams in the satellite industry using Agile methodology.

​

Arts Experience:  I have been actively practicing Zentangle (a meditative artwork method) for over five years and am soon to be certified as a Zentangle teacher. Previously, I founded and managed Mother Earth Clay Arts Center, which was the largest ceramic arts studio on the West Coast from 2004 to 2007. In 2001, I also founded the Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild, which continues to support local ceramic artists today.
