Kathleen Tonn, Financial Aid Coordinator

Background/Expertise: My work experience is varied. I’ve worked for the state and federal government, the non-profit sector, private industry, including being self-employed, and now in a university setting. I’ve been employed as a graphic artist, swim instructor, pre-school teacher, personnel consultant, real estate property manager, manager of a non-profit business, marketing representative, insurance agent, and realtor. My all-time favorite position is that of being a mother to my two sons.

Academic Interest/Specialization: I earned my Undergraduate degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English. I have a Masters degree in Christian Ministry.

Personal Statement: My relationship with Jesus Christ governs my life. I believe in the transformative power of the Holy Spirit working in the lives of those who yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I personally seek to develop all the gifts that God has placed within me, and I equally desire to see the gifts that God has placed in His children to be made manifest. I seek to encourage people in their walk with Christ, but I also choose to sew love into the lives of those who know not Christ. I believe it essential that the Body of Christ love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and body & to love their neighbor as themselves. I believe in LOVE!

Interests/Hobbies: I love to spend time with my sons and with friends. I love to dance, sing, laugh, play, pray, preach and teach the WORD of GOD, roller blade, ski, ride bike, hike, four-wheel, play volleyball and baseball, tennis, paint with watercolors and acrylics, write, and decorate. I am working on developing the apostolic and prophetic ministry “Move the Mountain.”

Family: I have two incredible sons named Jayvin and Nathaniel! They are my heroes! They inspire me! But I am also from a family of 12 kids. I am number 11. I learned much from my siblings, mainly how to love and to forgive. But equally important, I learned how to share…which is vital!
