Taylor University is a great place to be. I am so thankful for this opportunity to be a faculty member here. Let me share with you a few reasons that I love teaching here at Taylor. The up-to-date and awesome facilities/resources at Taylor enhance teaching and learning. Taylor students are very motivated and hardworking. My colleagues are wonderful and caring. Chapels and other activities in this Christ-centered institution help me grow closer to God. This is the best place to be!
I love to spend time with friends and families, trying new recipes with friends for fun, getting a lot of ideas from Pinterest, and watching movies.
