  • Personal Philosophy

    Colossians 3:12-15 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

    I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to serve students here at CBU. I believe in a balanced life - a life where we can work hard toward our professional and educational goals, have fun and make memories with those that we love, and transform ourselves as we are sharpened to be more like Christ. I hope to model this to my students and to encourage them as they seek to live their purpose.
