What have you enjoyed most about your career?
“I spent 12 years in youth ministry and made a career transition to social work. I recently returned to church-based ministry and truly love the work I am doing!”

“Carthage taught me to think deeply about faith and theology, but I also learned a lot about myself (both the good and the bad) and learned how to become the person I truly want to be.”
