Academic Excellence & Career Progression

When I started at Mount Carmel Seminary in 2016, I was seeking to deepen my theological understanding. Through the Master's program in Counseling and Psychology, I discovered my true calling. The rigorous curriculum and supportive faculty encouraged me to pursue my Doctor of Theology, which I completed in 2019. Today, I integrate both theological and psychological perspectives in my ministry, serving our community with a more holistic approach.
