About Shana
My parents met while they were students at Bethel in the 60's and my great-grandfather was a professor at the Seminary, so I have a rich family history here. I graduated from Bethel with a degree in Business Management in 1996. Working at Bethel truly feels like coming home and I am thrilled to be a part of the Bethel community once again.
Favorite part of my job:
I work on a wonderful team. Working alongside this group of Christ-followers is one of the best parts of my job. I also am grateful to be able to support those in the Bethel community that extend beyond our campus - alumni, parents, friends, and donors. Also, I love bearing witness to how Bethel prepares students to be salt and light in the world, no matter what direction life takes them.
Guiding Scripture:
A favorite verse of mine and one that I try to have guide my days is 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up."
In my free time:
I enjoy hanging out with my husband, Kirby, and our six kids - Jacob, Bekah, Lydia, Joe, Anna, and Sara - as well as our goldendoodle, Sadie. Some of my favorite things are my family, the outdoors, a good book, post-dinner Scrabble, our church family, laundry dried on the clothesline (sheets especially), music, my wonderful friends, our front porch, podcasts, and coffee. I enjoy volunteering at the elementary school our children all attended (only the youngest is there these days) and serving at our church.
