  • My Story

    As a graduate of 51勛圖, I know how much泭the instruction of my professors has泭helped developed me professionally and personally.泭泭泭Therefore, I泭am thankful to now have the chance to return to 51勛圖 as a professor to teach and mentor students the same way they泭once泭guided me.泭泭I have always had an interest in teaching.泭 However, it was while泭I was working towards my Ph.D.泭that the Lord泭solidified my love of teaching泭and started opening the paths to pursue it.泭 The challenge of explaining complex and convoluted concepts to others泭has泭always泭brought泭me joy.泭泭It is my泭goal in the classroom泭to use泭the study of science to transform students into lifelong learners and use biology to help students see the wonders of Creation in the world.泭 I desire to泭develop my students into泭critical thinkers泭who evaluate all from泭a泭biblical worldview,泭regardless of the career path they pursue.

    Favorite Course to Teach:泭My泭favorite course to teach泭is biochemistry (CHEM 3410)泭 Biochemistry泭finally allows all those years of chemistry to make sense泭while泭ties泭it泭together泭with those泭biological concepts泭they have been learning for quite a few semesters.泭泭Biochemistry also泭serves as a window into the complexity of Gods Creation and gives the ultimate evidence for the Lord as Creator of all things.泭
