“Working at Faulkner has been a tremendous blessing in my life and it has been my privilege to have been here for many years witnessing the growth and positive changes of the university. I am passionate about teaching math, but more importantly, I love being a part of the lives of young people at such a transitional phase. The students are what I most love about Faulkner University.”
