Professional and Personal Interests
|
|
|
A biology major as an undergraduate student at Wheaton, I felt
God's call on my life to move into a ministry focus in my schooling.
I obtained an M.A. in Educational Ministries and grew passionate
about developing a vision for education that was true to the
biblical witness and to the Christian worldview as a whole.
This continues to be my passion to this day. I earned my Ph.D.
at Indiana University, where I studied History and Philosophy
of Education with an eye to how Christian education has been
shaped both by the history of the Church and the history of
educational thought through the centuries. While there, I also
worked at a church in the area of college and young adult ministry.
