"I have been here as pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Valatie since 2010.  This congregation is a warm, friendly group of people who strive to reach out to help others as they take seriously Christ’s command to “Do unto others." It is with great pleasure and a sense of following God’s leading that I am here.

I grew up on Long Island with my parents and three brothers.  Throughout my youth the church was important to me; it’s where I was accepted, where I found a social life and how I learned about my faith.  I finished my undergraduate studies at SUNY Stony Brook after I was married and had a blended family of 5 children.  Later I went to Union Theological Seminary in New York City and graduated with a Master of Divinity.

My journey through ministry has led me from Long Island to Hudson Valley to Columbia County, with a 5+ year call to a church in Albany.  My husband of 36 years and I, along with our cat, have made this community our home for over 19 years and feel very much at home.

Whether you are new here or have been around for years,
I invite you to join us at First Presbyterian."
