Our Spiritual Director

Autumn is a self-professed personal-growth junkie and an eternal student of life. She has traveled, sailed, and lived worldwide and taught English to Spanish-speaking children in Panama while running a vacation rental business. For fun, she loves puzzles, reading, playing board games, and card games. Autumn lives and homeschools her two children in a tiny house that she built, along with a jungle cat and a scruffy little dog. She is a UU and has plans to become a Minister.  She was the Assistant Religious Educator in her last congregation. Autumn moved to Mooresville in 2020 from Saint Augustine, Florida.
