Becky Le
Rebecca Hope Le’s career path has been fueled by passion and calling. Her journey into nursing and teaching began with her international mission work in 1992. Today, mission work has led Rebecca all over the world, providing life-changing opportunities to serve in countries such as Mexico, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Korea, Vietnam, and Uganda. During mission trips, she has performed a variety of services, including assisting in opening medical clinics, conducting health education programs, and providing childcare training in orphanages.
Working with orphans sparked Rebecca’s passion for children, which led to her work as a pregnancy crisis counselor and nurse in high-risk labor and delivery units. She has been actively involved in maternal child-patient education and has conducted training on newborn care, childbirth education, breastfeeding support, parenting, and natural family planning. She is also deeply passionate about adolescent health and has taught eating disorder prevention and HIV education. Rebecca’s passion for healthcare, missions, and education naturally led to her work as a nursing faculty, administrator, and researcher.
Le received her BSN from Oklahoma City University, going on to achieve her MSN from Southern Nazarene University and her Ph.D. from Oklahoma City University.
“There are so many amazing components of my lifelong career at OKWU. The most important part is being able to integrate my love for the Lord, calling as a nurse, and compassion for people, families, communities, and the world. I love being able to mentor nursing students in their calling as nurses and to make a global impact for the Kingdom.”
