Rev. Dr. Lori Banfield, '11

"I am a professor of psychology and Christian Ministries at Esperanza College of Eastern University. I also work as a Mental Health Professional specializing in Marriage & Family Therapy but currently servicing teens out of Dunbar Community Counseling Services. I hold the role of Director on the board of Redemption Housing-Reentey services. In this role, I lead spiritual resilience trainings and coordinate community connections."

"A friend from graduate school provided the teaching opportunity. My own google search provided the clinical opportunity. (All guided by the Holy Spirit of course)."

"It helped me recognize how important social justice/ advocacy work really was to me and my desire to find a professional space that would honor the integration of my Christian faith and psychological orientation."
