I style myself a lifelong learner, a servant within the ministry of teaching, and a burgeoning scholar of Christian theology, passionate about the multifarious intersections between faith and culture. First and finally a committed Christian, my passion is for the kingdom of God to be advanced among the ‘kingdoms’ of the world—as Christ is glorified on earth as in heaven and humanity flourishes. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I earned my BA in Religious Studies & German at the University of New Mexico, but I have also been blessed to be formed as an academic exchange student at the Universität Heidelberg and Universität Tübingen before completing my MAR in Philosophical Theology at Yale. Prior to coming to Fuller I began my career as an educator, teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies; and as a doctoral student at CATS I intend to continue my pursuit of seeking and knowing God more deeply, forging a new yet familiar scholastic path as a teacher of theology to-be.
