My relationship with Jesus Christ informs every aspect of my life. As I live my life in service to Christ, I seek to serve those around me. I believe education is the greatest asset we can possess and Christian education provides the only means to develop a holistic worldview. My passion is teaching and communicating knowledge to others. As I teach, I hope to engage a learner in a way that will motivate them to apply the knowledge to their life and develop wisdom in how it should be used
