Rev. Di has been in the Science of Mind teaching since the early 1980's. She is one of many alumni of the Huntington Beach Church of Religious Science with the late, Dr. Peggy Bassett. She first took SOM 100 and 200 classes with Dr. Peggy, then finally completed the first year of practitioner with then Asst Minister, Dr Linda Mac Namar, after 4 attempts!

A 23 bed treatment facility for dully diagnosed clients.
Her other career directions took her to work in Juvenile Corrections for youth with Psychological challanges, as a Psych Tech with children, adolescents , and geriatric patients.
She feels the combination of working in human services, and biomedical engineering, gives her a unique and excellent training backgroud in science and humanism for her ministry, and as a teacher of Science of Mind.
