As the Archivist at UNW’s Berntsen Library, my research interests include 20th century evangelical and fundamentalist history especially related to Northwestern. My favorite theological interest is the Christian doctrine of atonement. As a librarian, I love helping students navigate the complex world of theological literature. I occasionally teach various classes for the Department of Biblical and Theological Studies, including Systematic Theology and Historical Theology.
