Can you share some highlights or meaningful moments from your life since you graduated from LSTC?
Serving in congregational, campus, and hospital ministry settings through my years of ordained ministry was life-changing for me. I learned so much from the people I worked with and especially enjoyed the experiences in specialized ministry as Campus Pastor and Chaplain.
How has your LSTC experience shaped your journey?
LSTC opened the world for me—to new perspectives, different cultures, and different ways of seeing the world. LSTC instilled in me a foundation of justice, love, and openness to others that shaped my journey, both professionally and personally. Now in my retirement, my focus on justice and advocacy grows out of that foundation and those commitments. I am so grateful to LSTC!
Do you have any words of encouragement for current students?
Be bold. Be strong. Be courageous. The Church and the world need leaders like you!
