group and youth choir, which hosted activities for students from the local high
school. The smaller congregation developed an after-school tutoring program for
children in grades 1 through 3, which used the skills of the congregation's cohort
of retired teachers. The program received a grant from the United Methodist
Church to address the needs of children living in poverty. Serving these local
churches allowed me to collaborate with people on developing a vision for a
community, developing budgets, hiring and managing personnel, managing

5. volunteers, developing relationships and networks in an unfamiliar context,
developing relevant programs for internal and external development, planning for
building and property maintenance, and attending to the needs of a community.
All of these are transferable skills that I have continued to develop while working
in academic institutions.
Education
Doctor of Philosophy (Church History)
McGill University Montreal, QC Canada Jun '01
My doctoral dissertation addressed issues of immigration, ethnicity, and faith
among German-speaking immigrants to the United States in the nineteenth
century and early twentieth century. The work is particularly relevant to current
concerns about migration in the United States and Europe.
Masters of Theological Studies (Church History)
Vanderbilt Divinity School Nashville, TN Dec '92
MPhil (Ecclesiastical History)
University of St. Andrews St. Andrews United Kingdom Oct '92
I studied for one year at the University of St. Andrews as the recipient of a Rotary
International Foundation Scholarship. The scholarship provided an opportunity to
advance my academic study by earning a research degree. I completed the
degree with honors by scoring a "first" (British equivalent of an A) on all of my
exams and on my dissertation.

6. Bachelor of Arts (Religion and History)
Wofford College Spartanburg, SC Feb '90
Phi Beta Kappa
summa cum laude
David Duncan Wallace Award for top History Major
During my time at Wofford, I was the assistant to the Chairperson of the History
Department, a member of the concert choir and show choir, co-founder of a
female a capella group, a member of the Student Government Association, a
member of the college's delegation to the South Carolina Student Legislature,
and an occasional practice player for the women's basketball team. During my
junior year, I studied abroad in London for one semester. The experience opened
the world to me and instilled a continuing interest in globalization and
international affairs.
