My first love is music. I started playing at age 3 and by age 5 was playing on the concert stage. I continued my love of music in Jr. Hi and HS by playing many different instruments . I marched in the Rose Parade 3 times with the Montebello HS Band and the Montebello Police Band. My favorite instrument was the bassoon. Six years ago I rented one, re-learned the fingering and was able to perform with the orchestra at the Fall Festival of Praise at the Univ. of Redlands. Currently, I direct the Bells of Praise handbell choir and continue to play the piano.
Tying with music for first loves is my painting. I’ve been oil painting seascapes, landscapes and barns (and whatever else I can find) for around 25 years. Come by the church office and look around. There isn’t a bare wall anywhere!
Prior to coming to Pathway, I worked in the medical field for 17 years – first as a Medical Assistant then as an Office Manager. I went to college at night and did on-the-job training at hospital ER’s at night and was able to take the State test (and passed)to become a Certified X-Ray Technologist. I worked for Orthopaedic Surgeons here in Redlands for ten years, then left my job to finish raising my boys.
I have two great sons Ryan and Evan, two amazing grandsons Sage and Liam and a wonderful daughter-in-law Andrea Schindler. I live here in Redlands with my attack cat, Missy.
Here at Pathway I am the first person you see when you come into the doors and the first person you talk to when you call the office. God provided this job for me 14 years ago and it’s just where I want to be!
