Hebrew Bible and Christian Scriptures

Okay, so some basic information about me is that I was born and raised in  El Dorado, Arkansas.  I left El Dorado for college at Ouachita Baptist University where I graduated with my BA in Christian Counseling and Psychology. After taking 2 years off after college to “figure things out” I came to Truett in 2006 as a MDiv/MSW student.  I graduated in May with my Master of Social Work and I am now completing my final year at Truett.

Career plans after leaving Truett include more school!  I plan on obtaining my certificate for Assisted Animal Therapy (click here for a better understanding).  I truly feel that my calling is to help families with children living with disabilities.  This will allow me to combine two loves (children and animals) into a career.

I grew up Southern Baptist in a church that was very traditional.  I learned hymns and Bible stories at an early age.  After moving to Waco I became very involved with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and can safely admit that I am drawn into the CBF way of thinking!  Up until December I worked at a church in Waco as the Assistant to the Children’s Minister but left due to a move for an internship.

Hopefully, this helps to better understand a little more about who I am!
