Sandy was born and raised in this Diocese. A lifelong Episcopalian, the worship and liturgy of the Church draw her deeper into relationship with God. She joined the Resurrection staff as Deacon-in-Charge on Pentecost 2023 and became Vicar upon her ordination to the priesthood three weeks later. She served Calvary Episcopal Church, Indian Rocks Beach as deacon for six months until she went to the University of the South in Sewanee, TN to complete her Diploma of Anglican Studies (DAS). 

 

Sandy is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in the city of New York and completed her field education at St. Luke in the Fields in the West Village. While completing her DAS, she served as deacon at St. James Episcopal Church in Sewanee.

 

She is the Vice President of the Standing Committee and the first alternate deputy to General Convention (2027). She served on the Diocesan Vitality Initiative and is involved in seeking ways for congregations to find sustainability, one of the three adaptive challenges to the Bishop's Four Pathways. 

 

She learned to love Church History during her time at Sewanee as it helps give the foundation for “why we do what we do”. As a Florida native, she loves being outside, camping or hiking, and finding God in all things.
