CAREER HIGHLIGHT

Following the successful defense of my doctoral thesis, my husband, Marc, handed me a beautiful rose—a sign of his steadfast love and support. Shortly thereafter, I traveled to Lutherstadt Wittenberg to research and see for myself the places that were so important in Luther's life.
