I'm a half time associate pastor in North Seattle, though I live in Belltown. I supplement my income with working at Starbucks in South Lake Union. I am a 37 year old woman with a Master of Divinity. I've dog and cat sat for several friends and church members. I grew up with animals in the small town of Forks. We always had rescue animals. My parents are still very active in Friends of the Forks Animal Shelter In June 2014, The United Methodist Church conducted a national background check on me, as well as a thorough psychological exam. My best friend lives in Los Angeles. She has her own dog-walking and pet-sitting business. We compare notes all the time. I don't have a car, but make full use of zipcar, car2go, and the bus.
