FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, sociology, and religion from Calvin College (now Calvin University) and I have a Master of Divinity degree with an emphasis in communication and counseling from Western Theological Seminary. Over the past 20 years I’ve also taken advantage of many continuing education opportunities, including becoming a certified level 1 foundational coach.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been speaking in front of groups since I was a teenager! Many of my early experiences were largely on a volunteer basis, but in college my summer jobs were all oriented around youth and community work. I've been working with people and as a speaker ever since!
