Mission & Passion
I truly see every opportunity I have to interact with students as a teaching moment that allows me to encourage them to become successful, both academically and spiritually. As a librarian, I believe that it is important to equip our students with the tools necessary for them to become lifelong learners, as well as true leaders and active members of the body of Christ. I want students to feel comfortable using the library, and I also want them to know that I am willing to help them when the need arises. It is a privilege to serve the OKWU community in this manner, and I pray that my work will help to further establish God’s kingdom here on earth.
Inspiring Verse / Quotation
“How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.” Psalm 84
