Faith and Learning
As an accounting professor at a CCCU, I view the integration of faith and learning as a calling to illuminate both the technical rigor of accounting and the eternal truths of Scripture. I believe that excellence in accounting education must be grounded in biblical principles of integrity, stewardship, and service, equipping students to honor God through their professional and personal lives. My goal is to cultivate graduates who demonstrate mastery of financial knowledge and reflect Christ-like character in every decision they make.
