Video Introduction

 “What inspires you to serve on the USCR board?”

Over the years, as both a spiritual leader and an ordained minister, I’ve often reflected on how I can serve more effectively in ministry. I’ve felt uncertain, faced with many questions and few clear answers. This has deepened my appreciation for the LUTs and ministers in the field who are spreading the Unity message, and it fuels my desire to ensure they have the support they need.

I’m inspired to contribute to a region I’ve personally experienced as providing invaluable education, training, resources, and encouragement—tools we all rely on at different stages of our journey. As ministry continues to evolve, I am committed to being part of the work our region is doing to support and uplift those who serve.
