In 2012 she received the seminary’s Patrick D. Miller Award for Excellence in the Study of Scripture.
Her primary research interests include the Megilloth, post-exilic literature, Wisdom literature, biblical languages, biblical theology, women in the Bible, intertextuality in the Bible, and feminist biblical interpretation.
