What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to provide spiritual support and guidance in a compassionate environment, fostering growth and healing.

I am a dedicated chaplain with extensive experience in spiritual care and education. My journey in ministry began over three decades ago, and I have served in various capacities, including as a Staff Chaplain at McLane Children’s Hospital, a staff chaplain at Mercy Hospital in Ardmore, OK, a hospice chaplain for Good Shepherd Hospice, and a Resident Chaplain at Texas Health Huguley Hospital. My academic background includes a Doctor of Ministry with a focus on Spiritual Formation, where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA, and a Master of Divinity with high distinction.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing compassionate care and support to individuals in need. I have also contributed to the academic field as a Professor of Spiritual Formation, shaping future leaders in ministry. My certifications as a Spiritual Director and an Endorsed Chaplain reflect my dedication to professional development and excellence in pastoral care. I am excited about the opportunity to serve as a remote chaplain associate at Advocate Aurora Health, where I can leverage my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact.
