I am grateful to be ministering as coordinator of Christian Initiation (with adults and children) and Parish Family Life at St. Thomas Aquinas Church and Catholic Student Center in Ames, Iowa.  Since childhood I have loved nature and the miracle of planting and harvesting - so I feel at home in this corn country and serving in a Catholic Church that is place of worship for parishioners and Iowa State University students.  The diversity of ages, races, cultures, languages and experiences of these people is a rich environment to live, love, and grow in-to do “What Needs to be Done.”
