Background:
|
Phyllis became part of the Warner Pacific faculty in 1993 as an Associate Professor of Human Development. During her time here, she created a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which is a certified baccalaureate degree with National Council on Family Relations. Students graduating with this degree can be certified family life educators. She has spent most of her adult life teaching, either in academic settings or in community family life education. Currently, she is directing a program of marriage and family therapy training in the People’s Republic of China. She travels there twice a year to field test curriculum and train students in this area. She has also taken training and mental health services to several underserved parts of the world, including Albania, Burundi and Kenya in Africa, Israel, and soon to India and back to Albania. Her “hobbies” are travel, hiking, knitting, reading novels, and trying to keep up with her 2 adult daughters, 2 sons-in-law, and 5 grandchildren. She and her husband are certified trainers and leaders for the Association for Couples in Marriage Enrichment and Interpersonal Communications Programs.
