From an early age, Dr. Hershey knew that she wanted to be a teacher. That initial inspiration led her to LBC to receive her education and credentials. LBC prepared her not only academically, but also spiritually as she studied God’s word and grew in her love for Him. After teaching in K-12 schools for 11 years, including two years teaching overseas in Albania, she came back to LBC to train the next generation of teachers. For 10+ years, she served as the chair of the Education Department. Currently, she serves as Associate Provost for Academics, working in the areas of curriculum, faculty development, and academic operations. Although not teaching as regularly, she views her administrative work with others as opportunities to support, teach, and walk alongside LBC’s incredible faculty.

Her mother always describes her as being a bit of an adventurer. Since she went skydiving at 10,000 feet, climbed on top the Sydney Harbor bridge, and bicycled 80 miles in one day, that statement seems to be true. She enjoys many things outside of the classroom including cooking, decorating, traveling, and bicycling. All these activities are made sweeter when she does them with her wonderful husband, Carl.
