As Director and Assistant Professor of Christian Studies at John Witherspoon College, I led and shaped students' academic journeys with the liberals arts and Christian framework. With a passion for theology, history, and the humanities, I designed and taught diverse courses that challenged students to integrate faith with rigorous intellectual pursuits.My courses range from historical theology and biblical interpretation to ancient and medieval history, all crafted to encourage critical thinking, deep reflection, and a strong understanding of both historical and contemporary issues. My teaching methods varied, including lectures, Socratic dialogue, and primary source analysis, ensuring students are active participants in their learning.Beyond the classroom, I was dedicated to students' academic and personal development. I provided academic advisement, guided students through their educational paths, and mentored seniors as they completed their theses and considered next vocational steps. My role extended to curriculum development, where I continually revised syllabi to keep content relevant and engaging. I also worked with the faculty to revise and update the institutions larger course of study.In addition to teaching, I played a key role in organizing academic events like the biblical studies seminar, scholar skills workshops for students, and the Visio Dei Faculty Conference, which brought together scholars, students, and the community to explore important theological and ethical issues. These events demonstrated my commitment to fostering a vibrant intellectual community that values both faith and reason.My academic journey is enriched by my ongoing Ph.D. studies at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, focusing on Patristic Reception.
