I have been serving as a Medical Laboratory Technician for over 20 years. I have served in the clinical hematology, microbiology, serology, and clinical chemistry divisions of laboratory medicine with extensive service in clinical chemistry. Additionally, I have some laboratory experience in a veterinary hospital. I am an ordained pastor with over 10 years of service. My ministry involves preaching, teaching, leadership, equipping people for leadership roles in the church, and pastoral care. I have been serving as a chaplain for over five years. My duties as a chaplain are to build caring relationships with the hope of gaining permission to share the life changing good news of Jesus Christ in a nonthreatening manner. Caring involves listening to those who I am caring for, praying for them, giving encouragement, pastoral care, helping in different areas of life such as: family, stress and anxiety, single parenting, bereavement, addiction, anger, health, and answering Bible questions. My service is given from a biblical perspective.
