Associated Academic Programs
BusinessI strive to encourage students to think for themselves, to question the world around them, and to make the world a better place as they move throughout their academic, career, spiritual and life journey. I want them to have a walk with Christ and utilize that wisdom and discernment in their daily lives.
What drew her to Trinity:
I was drawn to Trinity through my interactions with faculty, staff and students. There is just something different about the students here, they are serious about their learning journey and really differentiate themselves from other schools. The hunger to gain knowledge and turn that into meaning for them, it is apparent in not only the students but across campus with the faculty and staff. The concept of helping students to achieve a working education intrigued me and brought me here to see the impact of this program.
Research interests:
I have always been interested in the entrepreneurial mindset and how this utilizes an interdisciplinary lens in problem solving. My academic interests combine science, technology, humanities, design-thinking, and business acumen in a unique way that provides an engaging, enjoyable, and more informed approach to problem solving. When you bring them all together and use it is a unique way to problem solve.
When she is not teaching:
I enjoy spending time with family and friends and I always love reading a good book!
