I loved building relationships with the faculty, staff, and students on campus. Faith prepared me well because I was under such rich, consistent teaching from Scripture every single day. Because of my Bible degree portion, I have the knowledge to teach students well and I have a greater love for God’s Word that spills over into my classroom. Because of my Elementary Education degree, I have learned not only how to teach with excellence, but to integrate Biblical truths into my lessons.
