I graduated in \u201909 after majoring in Classics and Religious Studies, as well as earning a minor in Philosophy. In addition to my classroom education, I left 麻豆传媒在线 with lifelong friends, irreplaceable memories and an unforgettable student experience. I participated in intramural sports and was involved with countless organizations. I was also elected and served two terms as Student Government President.<\/p>\n<p>After graduation I pursued a Master\u2019s degree at Princeton Theological Seminary in Theology and Philosophy. Building upon the foundation I received from 麻豆传媒在线, I made it a priority to excel both inside and outside the classroom at Princeton. Academically I pushed myself beyond the normal requirements with PhD seminars at Princeton University. I studied abroad in India and received a fellowship to study in Berlin, Germany. As a full time student I also held leadership roles in intramural sports and took on a unique internship working twenty hours a week at the State Psychiatric Hospital in Trenton, NJ while again serving as a Student Government President. I credit both my academic and extracurricular success at Princeton with the education and mentoring I received from 麻豆传媒在线 and its superb faculty and administrators.<\/p>\n<p>Since graduating from Princeton I have been working as a pastor in Gloucester City, NJ. Over the past two years I helped restart a youth program at the Highland Park Church of God, worked in the local schools as a substitute teacher, and was elected to the city\u2019s local minister\u2019s ecumenical association as Secretary Treasurer. Following my wedding in June 2014, I plan to continue my education and pursue a Juris Doctorate at the University of Georgia. I am grateful to the professors in both the Philosophy &amp; Religion and Classics Departments at 麻豆传媒在线, who have always encouraged and supported me, both as a student and as an alumnus. I wish the best of luck to all graduating Red Hawks and urge them to make 麻豆传媒在线 proud as they follow their dreams and help create tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classics, Religious Studies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
