I am originally from Temple, ME, and currently live in Milo. Along with my work at UMEM, I serve two rural churches. UMEM is my passion and I enjoy working in these rural communities to help people create more sustainable lives! I enjoy reading fiction, knitting, and spending time with my dog Lola, husband Don, and family.
