Best residence life memory from my college days

Painting up for the Calvin - Hope games and watching Calvin Men's Basketball team win the National Championship with the fellas from my floor over Spring break. I just really loved living and learning with the fun-loving guys on my hall! It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Favorite way to spend a Saturday

I love to be outside if I can running, biking or just walking around campus / Chattanooga. Saturdays are also big college football days - GO USC! But of course it's always nice to get a good cup of coffee, read a good book or engage in a stimulating conversation with a student or a friend.

Three words to describe life in Andreas Hall

Welcoming, Down-to-earth, Kick Back

Best thing about my job

I get to live and work the most spectacular students in the country and hopefully provide a residence experience that is fun, exciting, safe, challenging and gospel-driven. I just love being with students and hearing their stories...it's the greatest job ever!

Elementary Education

Hometown

Brookfield, WI

Favorite class taken at Covenant and why

Teaching in a Pluralistic Society with Dr Haddad was amazing because it made me think a lot about the stereotypes I unconsciously held. It helped me know how to evaluate our pluralistic society and interact with it from a biblical perspective.

What the residents can expect

My door is always open, at least figuratively. We hope to create a “neighborhood” feel in the apartments. It should be pretty relaxed. We’re going to have food, fun, and fellowship!

What I'm all about

I am all about chocolate. No, really, I am all about “sharing honest life” with people. Life is something to be enjoyed because Christ came that we might “have life and have it to the full.” I’m all about living!

Major

History

Hometown

Pensacola, FL

Favorite class taken at Covenant and why

Intro to History with Dr. Green. This class opened my eyes to the awesome ways that God can use my discipline to further His kingdom. It also convicted me of the many presuppositions I bring to my search for truth, and has given me a much greater appreciation for my human frailty.

What the residents on my hall can expect

I know that those who move to the apartments are looking for a greater amount of independence, and I am excited to encourage that and help them transition to the new environment in whatever way I can. They can expect a lot of energy and fun, and of course, food.

What I'm all about

Community! College is the one time in our lives when we will be in close community with over 1000 other men and women our age. It is so exciting to see how God will use each of us in each other’s lives to help us grow into the men and women He wants us to be.
