🎓 Doctor of Education (EdD) - Organizational Leadership, Christian Ministry Emphasis| Grand Canyon University | Doctoral Student

✝️ (Expected December 2028) Current developing dissertation research explores the lived experiences of Christian ministry leaders who view holistic wellness as essential to effective ministry.

Grand Canyon University is a Christian university whose integration of faith and learning aligns deeply with my personal values and professional calling because my education is not separate from my faith. I believe developing as a scholar, leader, coach, and servant are interconnected parts of becoming who God has called me to be. My doctoral studies explore leadership theory through the lens of Christian ministry, with an emphasis on biblical stewardship, research, and effective leadership. Through my research and the work of Nourished, I hope to contribute to a greater understanding of how caring for the mind, body, and spirit can strengthen our ability to lead, serve, and steward our lives well.
