She served as interim Rector for 4 months while the Rector was on sabbatical in the summer of 2016. Before that she served at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale for two years.  She is a native Floridian growing up in Miami, FL, of Cuban immigrants.  She comes from a large family of eight children.

She received her Bachelors degree in Environmental Studies from Florida International University and received a Masters Degree in City and Regional Planning from the University of Memphis.  She attended The Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, TX where she received her Masters in Divinity Degree in 2010.

Prior to seminary she worked for over ten years as a computer consultant and later a Senior Manager in Information Systems for the Johnson and Johnson family of companies.

Born and raised in Florida, she went on to attend Stetson University for her BA in English, Clemson University for her MA in English, and Texas A&M for her PhD in Communication, specializing in rhetoric and public affairs.
 
Prior to seminary, Becky was associate professor of Communication and Media Studies at Stetson University in Florida. She taught many communication and interdisciplinary courses, and mentored undergraduate students as an academic advisor, summer research grant supervisor, and senior thesis director. The primary focus of her research is the intersection of rhetoric and public memory with race and southern identity. Before her career as a professor, she did editorial work for campus and local newspapers, a magazine, and academic journals in communication.
 
While at the Seminary of the Southwest, she gained practical ministry experience through a chaplaincy internship at Dell Seton Medical Center in Austin, and field education at the University of Texas Episcopal Student Center. She completed her Ministry across Cultures field experience in the Diocese of London (Church of England), focusing on how churches there connect with their communities. She is excited to return to Bryan-College Station and to be a part of the St. Thomas' community.
