“In Latino/a communities, we talk about the importance of doing theology en conjunto-together. I view my calling as one of guiding students on a journey en conjunto where, by the Spirit’s grace, we might delight in the beauty of the Triune God, be transformed by the truth revealed in the crucified Christ and his crucified peoples, and taste and see the goodness of our created cosmos. I’m excited to join the WTS community where we share a common goal of serving and loving the people of God.”
