Biography
I love people. I love God. So, reading, studying and teaching the Bible is a great combination for me! When I was in Seminary, someone prayed over me that I would be educated so that I could teach, train and bless others. I pray that God uses my education and experiences to help others navigate the pages of Scripture and sense God's love for them.
When I am not teaching as an adjunct instructor, I work full time as the Senior Director for University Relations for Bethel.

Quote
When I was a sophomore in college, my eighty year old Economic Botany professor, Dr. Russell Johnson, quoted Proverbs 3:5-6 most days. He said it was his lifeline. I've learned it's mine, too. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
