Bio
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in educational leadership at Andrews University, investigating steps school leaders can take to turn gossip into work talk that fosters a culture for solution in early childhood education programs. This topic of study is important because of the spiritual consequences gossip has on those who do it and are victims of it. I am especially interested in creating productive and long-term solutions to the problem of Gossip in schools, churches, and families using biblical principles.
You can learn more about me and my upbringing in this book, What I Gain Through His Pain.
