Get to Know Your Counselor

What do you love about Biola?

I love the fact that excellence in service is at the heart of everything that Biola stands for. And within this framework, I am thankful that a global worldview is what the mission statement reflects. We have students from all parts of the world (internationals, M.K.s, and Third Culture Kids) and they enrich our campus with a relevant cultural perspective that is part of the learning process for all.

What is your favorite place on campus? Why?

The Rose of Sharon Prayer Chapel is my favorite place on campus. Many of my prayers and praises have taken place there.

What advice would you give to your incoming students?

Just as written in Jer. 29:11, trust that God cares for your future, and be open to be challenged and changed to that end.

What has your time at Biola taught you?

It is exciting to know that we do not have to be perfect for God to use us, but we should never be complacent staying where we are. Growth and learning happens in the classroom just as well as in the dorms, cafeteria, or chapel events.
