What type of high school did you graduate from?
Homeschool
Why did you choose BJU?
Because of the Lord’s clear leading through His provision and through the counsel of my parents.
How have you grown over your years at BJU?
With academics, social situations and extra-curricular activities, life can be very busy. But each of these situations provided an opportunity to grow and to learn to rely on God's grace to help me accomplish what seemed at times impossible.
What sort of campus ministries were you involved in?
I participated in AWANA and Bible Club extensions.
What is your favorite college memory?
I was playing in the orchestra for an opera one year, and a meatball (plastic, of course) rolled right off the stage into the orchestra pit, creating quite a stir! We all kept right on playing while we tried to recover from the shock and ensuing fits of laughter without losing our place in the music.
What is your favorite meal out of all the food establishments on campus?
Beef brisket, mashed potatoes, baby carrots and Sunday rolls.
What are your plans after graduation?
When my husband graduates with his Master of Divinity, we would like to be involved with church planting—probably out West somewhere, but we will see how the Lord leads!
If you could visit 1 place, where would it be?
I would love to travel around England, visiting famous church history sites!
Any advice for incoming students?
Make your relationship with the Lord your priority, and everything else will fall into place. Be responsible with your time, but make sure you have some fun too!
What’s your favorite verse or Scripture passage?
Jeremiah 29:11-13—“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
