I consider myself one of the luckiest on staff because I am forgiven of having to attend lots of meetings.  Instead, my time goes to providing pastoral presence for those working through changes in their lives.  I am also employed by Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota where I work as a Clinical Independent Social Worker in the Counseling and Family Resource program.  These two roles overlap one day a week in a  mental health clinic of LSS housed at Gloria Dei.  I can usually be found on Fridays in my study down the hallway outside the main offices.
