I am a life-long Baptist layperson who has been part of both small and large churches. I served in leadership roles at all levels, from chairing the diaconate, finance and personnel committees, and serving on pastoral search committees to teaching Sunday School, coordinating Senior Adult Activities and directing weddings for nearly 20 years! I am passionate about my long-term commitment to theolo
gical education, having served on the board of the Baptist House of Duke Divinity School for nearly 10 years. In that capacity I have enjoyed getting to know students and following them through school and into ministry. I studied sociology at Guilford College, accounting at NCSU and Appreciative Inquiry at Case Western Reserve University. I am an experienced executive coach and organizational development professional whose work was published in the Organizational Development Journal before joining the CBFNC Network. My training includes coaching coursework at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro and in high performing organizations at the Federal Executive Institute in Charlottesville, VA. I recently completed Basic Christian Leadership Certification through CBFNC. My philosophy about coaching is that it can be a catalyst for creating the change you want to see in your life and in the life of your church. I am an active member of Trinity Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC.
