I’ve been a member of ADF since 2016, after relaunching my search for a place in Paganism after a some 25 year hiatus. I found many more resources than were available in the 1990s, and after exploring many groups and paths, I quickly settled on ADF, which has become my spiritual home. I’m an active member of Chokecherry Grove in Denver, Colorado, and I completed my Dedicant Path in March of 2020 and am currently working on the Generalist Study Program. I also enjoy contributing to the ADF journal Oak Leaves. I’m an avid reader of Pagan and Pagan adjacent topics and always have a book (or a few) at hand to dip into.

Outside of ADF, I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Religious Studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Paralegal certificate from the Denver Paralegal Institute. I’ve worked as an immigration paralegal for about 20 years. I’ve met and worked with people from places too numerous to name, which is a wonderful way to spend a day at work. Previous to my career in law, I worked in mental health as a counselor, working in residences for adults with chronic, severe mental illness and in a treatment group home for adolescent girls.

Doing some of the work that keeps ADF running is a privilege. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
