About
As a graduate of Fresno Pacific University I have profound respect for this institution. I have experienced the best of Fresno Pacific University including the rigorous academic program, Christian values and unmatched sense of community throughout the university. Serving as a faculty member within the university allows me the opportunity to interact with adult learners and prepare them to educate students with special needs. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with the students, faculty, staff and community with which I am blessed to serve.
