About Me
This page has a bit more detail about who I am and the type of work I do at the university. You may even be surprised at some of my pursuits.
I’ve had an interesting life’s journey…
My journey began in Indonesia, where I embraced faith in Jesus at the age of fourteen. Later, armed with a Master degree in Food Science & Nutrition, I seamlessly transitioned into a Master degree in Religious Education from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, feeling a divine calling to guide college students towards Christ. My mission led me to serve as a campus minister in San Francisco and Montana before embarking on a transformative pursuit of a Doctoral degree in Pharmacy (PharmD) and a Doctoral degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (PhD) from Idaho State University.
Currently holding the position of Tenured Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Union University College of Pharmacy in Jackson, Tennessee, I enjoy a 15-year teaching experience as a pharmacologist in pharmacy schools. Specializing in drugs for various disorders, I impart extensive knowledge in endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular, central nervous systems, and drugs for infectious diseases, blood disorders, pain, and cancer.

Regarding scientific literature…
My published works cover diverse topics, including antioxidants, cancers, rare diseases, and other pharmacy-related subjects. As an educator and pharmacist, I passionately impart critical information about medications, emphasizing proper usage for optimal results to my students and patients.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a writer and engaging public speaker, sharing profound insights into my faith journey. While my focus has been on scientific publications, I envision expanding my literary horizons to encompass books on Christ’s love and Bible study materials. Currently, I self-published “Joyful Living to Leave a Legacy,” and “Ebenezer” with Amazon. I continue authoring books on faith. My zest for life extends to other hobbies, including traveling, quilting, and reading. My multifaceted endeavors reflect a life dedicated to the integration of faith, education, and a profound commitment to bettering the lives of those I encounter.
Life Verses
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. – Jeremiah 29: 11-13
