It is truly an honor to work at a college whose motto is “Christ Above All.” I am thrilled to be advising first-year students in the ARC. I understand that college is a huge transition and want to support our students in any way I can. They are continuously in my prayers and my door is always open whether for academic support or just to chat. Our students are living in unprecedented times and I feel called to be a dependable source of wisdom and guidance as they prepare to transition into an ever-changing world with an immutable God as their foundation.
