Gretchen was born and raised in Manassas, VA and has worked as an occupational therapist for the past 15 years. Serving in the church has been something Gretchen has always felt called to – starting as an acolyte and children’s usher as a child. You may recognize her as a familiar face from serving as team coordinator or teaching the upper elementary students at Grace on Sunday mornings or her most recent experience on the Grace Leadership Board. Gretchen is excited to bring her passion for accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities to Grace UMC!
