My teaching experience also extends beyond the university classroom.

I previously served in teaching and spiritual-formation roles within Methodist educational settings in Costa Rica, and have taught in churches, workshops, leadership-development programs, and other ministry-training contexts throughout my career.

Research

Mission, Paul, and Intercultural Community

My doctoral research asks how Christian mission should be understood not only as “sending,” but also as the gathering of diverse peoples into a shared community without erasing their differences. I am exploring this question through Paul’s Jewish context, especially 1 Corinthians, the Lord’s Supper, and the intercultural life of the early church.

Situated at the intersection of missiology, biblical theology, Paul within Judaism, and intercultural ecclesiology, my dissertation examines how Paul’s Second Temple Jewish horizon shapes a theology of missio Dei in which mission includes both movement outward and the formation of communities capable of communion across cultural boundaries.

Professional Practice

My scholarship and teaching are shaped by more than two decades of work in churches, nonprofits, education, community development, and intercultural ministry. I currently lead development, training, and intercultural initiatives with The Wesley Heritage Foundation and co-direct One Tree Tutorial & Enrichment. My previous work has included nonprofit executive leadership, financial and organizational management, affordable housing, multicultural youth programs, pastoral ministry, and ministry formation in Costa Rica.My experiences continually push me to ask how ideas actually affect life on the ground once they encounter real people, organizations, cultures, and communities.

Professional Practice

I want students to understand ideas carefully, encounter perspectives beyond their own, and learn to connect what they study with the decisions and communities that shape real life. My classroom tends to combine close reading, conversation, case studies, historical and cultural context, and practical application. I value serious disagreement handled with curiosity and respect, and I want students to leave a course not simply knowing more, but asking better questions and thinking more responsibly.

About Me

I’m an educator, faith leader, nonprofit leader, and PhD candidate in Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary. For more than 20 years, my work has moved between classrooms, churches, nonprofits, community organizations, and intercultural ministry settings in the United States and Latin America.

The common thread has been a desire to help people understand one another, learn deeply, and build communities and organizations that can hold together across difference. My Christian faith is central to that vocation, but much of my work has also taken place in broader educational and community settings where careful listening, cultural awareness, and practical leadership matter just as much.

My doctoral research explores Christian mission, Paul within Judaism, and the formation of intercultural Christian communities. I’m particularly interested in what happens when theology leaves the page and enters real life: how beliefs shape relationships, institutions, leadership, ethics, and the ways communities respond to difference.

That same concern shapes my teaching. I enjoy helping students work through difficult ideas, encounter perspectives beyond their own, ask better questions, and connect what they are learning with the communities and decisions that shape their lives. My teaching draws on academic study, pastoral ministry, nonprofit leadership, community development, and years of working across cultures.

Alongside my academic work, I continue to lead and serve in nonprofit and educational organizations. That practical experience keeps my scholarship grounded and reminds me that good ideas matter most when they help people live, lead, and work together more faithfully and wisely.
