Hello! I am Reuel, born and raised in Hyderabad, India. I lived in Mississippi and Arizona before moving to Biola to study at Talbot School of Theology in the MA Philosophy program. I finished my undergraduate in Computer Programming at Grand Canyon University, where I also served as a Resident Assistant (RA), gaining Housing and Residence Life experience. I worked in the tech industry for four years, during which I got married, had a baby, and felt convicted to leave my job and study Philosophy at Talbot Seminary. I began at Biola Housing as a Graduate Assistant before transitioning to the role of Assistant Resident Director of Grad and Family Housing. As a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, and as one being equipped in Philosophy, I set myself to engage in contending for the faith and truth in Christ. This also means that I contend for my residents as they set out to study at Biola in what God has enabled them. I intend my residents to be their best in well-being by meeting their housing needs as grad and family residents so they can have their best time whilst studying at Biola, intellectually and familially in Christ. Please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding housing, life, faith, philosophy, and apologetics, and we can meet over coffee (or I can just make you Chai!)
