Why I love teaching: There is an incredible degree of useful knowledge densely packed in the sprawling collections of Humanities. I love teaching humanities because students approach the same historical text from different perspectives, requiring a collective effort from all students to best understand. Most importantly, the complexities of humanities reveals a divinely inspired narrative constantly reaffirming its purposeful creation and begging to be explored.

Subject(s): English
Education: Georgia State
Church Name: Providence
Why I love teaching: I initially became a teacher because I loved the subject matter. I still love the content, but I’ve learned over the years that I teach students first. The mechanism I use is the study of English. I sincerely enjoy being with young people and helping them understand the relevance of what they are studying in relation to God, others, and themselves. My ultimate goal is to help them do what they were created to do: glorify God (Isa. 43:7, 1 Cor. 10:31).

Why I love teaching: Having become a Christian as an adult, I have a deep passion concerning the need for people - especially young people - to understand the larger context of their lives in hope that they take hold of their faith. My desire is to empower, challenge, and shepherd these young people - through the lens of various subjects - to seek for the knowledge of God and discern what part he has for them in this incredible Story of Redemption.
