Summary

  • I am a board certified pediatrician, having completed my med school, residency, and fellowship at Vanderbilt. After 20 years of active pediatrics practice, I entered General Theological Seminary in NYC and after three years was ordained an Episcopal priest. After serving several parishes in the Florida Panhandle and Lower Alabama. Most recently I served as part-time priest-in-charge of a small historic 100 year old African-American congregation in downtown Montgomery from 2014-2019.
    My husband David and I retired to Gainesville GA in Nov 2019. I maintain an active AL medical license and have had the privilege of serving on numerous short term medical missions to Central America. It continues to be quite a journey!
    David and I now are enjoying retirement and serving as part time clergy at Grace Episcopal Church in Gainesville.
