Online school can feel lonely at times. Can we get an amen?! At Ascent College, we want you to know that our professors are so much more than proctors of online course shells. They are true experts at their craft, active ministry leaders, and deeply committed to your spiritual development and academic success. And they’re real people with funny hobbies, prayerful dreams, and unique journeys that contribute to how they show up in life, in ministry, and in their academic leadership as invaluable members of the Ascent College faculty.
Today, we welcome you to the opportunity to get to know Professor Nina Angeles a bit more. Read some tidbits from a recent interview we did for social media below!
HOW ARE YOU INVOLVED IN MINISTRY?
In addition to providing counseling services at my local church, I also regularly facilitate trauma, grief, and loss groups. My most recent small group, “Navigating Loss,” ended just a few weeks ago.
WHAT IS A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I had worked as an accountant at Georgetown University for fifteen years when God called me into the field of counseling! A visiting missionary prophesied over me, and my life hasn’t been the same since. Needless to say, I had to go back to school and go through rigorous training to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. The journey was both challenging and rewarding at the same time. Many times, I would question whether I misheard what the missionary told me.
WHAT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT DO YOU HAVE FOR OUR STUDENTS?
Never stop learning. Get to know yourself. Entrust your future to the all-knowing Abba Father. Enjoy the journey. Make a difference. Live in the light of eternity.
