  • Personal Philosophy

    My philosophy of education is grounded in God’s great heart of potential for people. Through relationships and the study of psychology the Lord has been pursuing me. His pursuit has brought me to discover him through challenging experiences redeemed by discoveries in science and education. I am passionate about both bridging the dialogue between faith and science and equipping leaders to discover their best professional selves.
