What can students expect from your classes?
I live what I teach and I believe that God can do great things in and through the lives of my students.
Favorite Bible Verse
“For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.” (Psalm 84:10a, NRSV)
This verse contextualized to my own circumstance means “A moment in God’s presence is better than a whole life without him.”
Mentors/ Role Models
I had a wonderful teacher, Prof. Michael V. Fox, who taught me what it means to be a teacher and scholar. He was a clear example of one walking extra miles repeatedly for his students as a teacher while never neglecting his work as a scholar. My aspiration is to become a teacher like him to my students.
