My favorite things about Bethel Seminary:
One of the things I appreciate most about Bethel is the diversity of thought in the community. Our students come from a variety of denominational backgrounds, so the environment is one that fosters rich conversation about similarities and differences. The faculty and staff are committed to supporting students as they engage new ideas and grow in their own understanding of who they are called to be. It's an honor to be here.

My favorite Twin Cities/Minnesota sites:
I live in and love my Minneapolis neighborhood. I have come to enjoy the running trails of the Grand Rounds, many cafes and local businesses, a variety of theater and music venues, and the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. In the summer I especially enjoy visiting my hometown, Fergus Falls, to spend time on the great lakes in that area.

Before working at Bethel:
Before coming on staff at Bethel Seminary, I worked in the Office of Admissions and Recruitment for 3 years as a recruitment intern while I pursued my undergraduate degree. I also served in the Young Life community as a volunteer leader for over 6 years. Prior to moving to the Twin Cities, I worked as a barista at a small-town coffee shop where my love for coffee grew. I ensured that my customers (and I) stayed fully caffeinated at all times!
