She says: “I love the verses in Psalm 92 that talk about the righteous flourishing like a palm tree and a cedar of Lebanon in the courts of our God. It reminds me that my duty as a teacher and leader is to be able to lead and guide, and through God’s teachings to help others to flourish, rooted in Biblical beliefs so that we can all bring glory to God.”
