I enjoy reading science-fiction novels, Star Wars, volunteering at church with the children’s ministry, and playing video games.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION/FAVORITE SCRIPTURE:

• Gal. 3:28-29. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.
• Psalm 118:1. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His loving kindness is everlasting.
