Teaching junior high school for 18 years prepared me for almost anything! After this, I did grad work and became a chaplain/pastor, working in two churches plus in several businesses and a hospice, as a chaplain. In the past several years I have been working as a community chaplain and consultant and have been doing research, writing and speaking. I also really enjoy teaching at ABC when the opportunity presents!
