B.A., M.A. & Th.M. in New Testament Exegesis, B.A. & M.A in English linguistics and Ancient languages, B.A. in Greek.
Ph.D. student in New Testament with a special focus on NT language. I have been teaching and supvervising since 2009.
In my thesis project I investigate the understanding of tense in NT Greek. Other research interests include Bible translation, prayer, Plato's and Aristotle's philosophy of time and Aristotle's theology (metaphysics).
