Interests
- Traveling, exploring national parks, grabbing lunch with a friend, and spending time with my husband, John, and our four daughters
- Why Cedarville?: I am thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to return to my alma mater, the place where I made many close friends, met my husband, and discovered my interest in social work. I love teaching and investing in students, both inside and outside the classroom. I consider it a privilege to play a role in equipping students to become excellent and competent social workers who integrate their faith and biblical worldview into each social worker-client relationship.
