Interests

Professional interests are focused on the desire to promote dynamic educational experiences by means of new and ongoing program development, curriculum design and development, teaching, research, writing, presenting, and consulting. An especially nuanced area of personal and professional interest includes the search for a theoretical understanding of spiritual formation that bridges both theology and praxis, with particular focus on how spiritual formation may be more intentionally integrated in Christian higher education and the everyday workplace.
