Summary
After years of teaching in the public sector, I desire to apply my experience in a private educational setting, specifically that of a Christian school. My background in pastoral ministries and education lends itself to that endeavor, blending my gifts and training in teaching with my calling and passion to share the processes of understanding Scripture. I am prepared to engage and inspire the students of your school to embrace the Spirit and power of God's word while discovering its practical and meaningful use for daily living.
