After being a member of the Holy Spirit Community for several years, it is my pleasure and privilege to be a member of the Pastoral Council. I have spent the last 25 years working in the corporate world holding sales and general management roles at HP, start-ups and currently Dell. My parents, sister and I moved to Almaden 34 years ago so I've grown up in this parish. After graduating from college at UC Berkeley, where I met my husband Rick, I returned home to Almaden Valley and Holy Spirit Church. Rick and I have been very fortunate to call Almaden our home for the last 22 years. It was always a dream of ours that Holy Spirit would one day have an elementary school like the one we attended at St. Christopher's. My sister Andrea and I worked as members of the formation team and saw our dream come to fruition. Our children have and had the opportunity to attend HSS, mine have since graduated. Rick and I have two children: Baron 16 and Natasha 15 who are both active members of AVYM.

Holy Spirit has been a significant part of our lives. I look forward to working with the members of the Pastoral Council as well as the parish community to ensure our parish evolves with grace and spirit to meet the changing needs of our parish community.
