Biography

If I were a CU student... I would dive right into the activities and opportunities for relationship-building! Don't hesitate to try new things and meet new people, even if it seems intimidating at first. Take the time to invest in the lives of those around you and have fun! Developing close relationships with professors is also a great idea. They care about you and want to pour into your life!

What is the best restaurant in the area? Rudy's Smokehouse in Springfield has an AMAZING buffet on Saturdays!

What sets CU apart from other colleges and universities? Cedarville provides students with an incredible education and a great social experience, all while standing boldly on the Word of God. Many past students, including myself, can see how the Lord has used this place and the people here to grow them personally, intellectually, and spiritually. The professors are committed to teaching from a biblical worldview, and each student is equipped with a Bible minor during their time here. Not only do students learn about the Bible, but they learn how to apply it to their lives and hearts.  Students graduate from Cedarville equipped to excel in their fields and with friendships that will last them a lifetime.

Hometown? Johnstown, Ohio

Degree? BS in biology

Best place to visit around Cedarville? I love to hike and to be outdoors, and there are several neat parks close to Cedarville! Clifton Gorge and John Bryan State Park are great local spots.

Bucket list item? I'd love to go on an Alaskan bear-hunting trip!
