I live in southwest Michigan with my husband and two sons (ages 3 & 9). I am Director of Christian Education at Fairplain Presbyterian Church in Benton Harbor, MI and an adjunct faculty member at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI. I am a graduate of LPTS (M.Div. '94) and I received a Ph.D. in New Testament from Notre Dame ('05). Considering my background and my current occupation, it is unacceptable that I have not been to Israel. I am so glad to be filling this gap in my professional, personal, and spiritual life.
Not surprisingly, what I love to do most is read - and I spend most of my days doing just that. Most of my reading is work related, but I also love mysteries, 19th century English novels, anything set in Italy, and whatever book is my 3 year-old's current favorite (right now, anything Disney!). I enjoy visiting art museums, the theater and the ballet, singing, sports (especially baseball) and playing games of all kinds with my family.
