Fast Facts
As a professor at AU, I am thankful to teach, work, and engage with students, faculty and staff that adhere to the mission of AU to develop character, servant leadership and cultural engagement. This in itself is one of the many things that compelled me to teach at AU.
I love the unique bond that is formed between all of us on this campus to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The fact that we can share scripture, devotions, and pray together in class is one of my favorite things about teaching at AU.
Teachers change the world. Teachers are at the core of everything that is accomplished in the lives of their students. WE mold the future!
