Get to Know Your Counselor

What was your favorite class in college? Why?

My favorite class at Biola was Character of God with Dr. Thoennes. The entire class was devoted to studying the attributes of God and it was incredible. Knowing God relationally, and knowing His character completely changes how someone lives each day of their life. The class helped me grow in knowing God personally and completely trusting in Him.

What are your life goals?

My life goals include loving the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind, and loving others as much as I can. I think that a life well spent will be one where I look back and know that I gave my life to loving God and serving others.

What advice would you give to your incoming students?

I would advise my incoming students to enjoy the journey. College is full of ups and downs, but the Lord is leading you through all of it. As you trust in Him and follow Him daily, He will guide and direct your life. He helps you grow through your experiences, and He will use your life for His glory.

What do you love about Biola?

I absolutely love the community at Biola. I have built incredible life-long relationships during my time at Biola. These relationships encourage me in my walk with the Lord, and in all of life. The people at Biola love Jesus and that is what makes Biola an awesome place.
