Gloria was a member and later friend of Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church for many years. She raised her son at BAUUC and volunteered in various capacities. Gloria’s first love is education and children. She taught twenty-five years as an elementary school teacher and has spent the last eight years as an elementary school librarian. Her M.S. is in Multicultural Studies and she believes that an understanding of our world’s belief systems is an important aspect of a child’s path in spiritual growth.
