Dee has been at Bethesda UCC since 2013.  She has an MDiv. from Harvard Divinity School and a B.A. from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College).  Formerly, a high school English teacher, she is also a proud graduate of Frederick Community College.   Ordained to the ministry in 2003, she has served as a Hospice Chaplain in FL, as well as churches in MA and FL.  Issues of social justice are dear to her heart and she describes her call as wanting to unite her love of people with her love of God.
