Welcome to My E-Portfolio

This collection of writings and experiences comes from my journey in the Master of Arts in Practical Theology (MAPT) program at Columbia Theological Seminary.

When I began this program, I expected to study theological theories and frameworks. What I found instead was a living invitation to let theology shape how I live, serve, think, and teach.

Throughout this portfolio, you will encounter the bird, the phoenix , a symbol of faith that rises, burns, and is reborn. Each page captures a moment in this ongoing rhythm of transformation:

Through these reflections, I hope to show that theology is not confined to classrooms or pulpits. It lives in every conversation, every act of care, and every moment of honest wrestling with faith.
Like the phoenix, I continue to rise — learning, unlearning, and being remade in the light of God’s renewing grace.
