What's your favorite part of working at TEACH Services?
The opportunities that arise daily to help authors see their words come to life, and to know that these words will provide inspiration, hope, comfort, and blessings to those who read them. Also, I love working alongside my TEACH Services family members. It is very rewarding to be a part of a team that is single-minded in its goal to bring God's message to the world.
What's your favorite memory of interacting with a customer?
When an author told me that in spite of having spent years writing her manuscript, and after going through the initial process of submitting it for publication, and even signing the contract, it was when she received a message from me that began, "Welcome Author" that she cried at the realization that she was "truly, finally an author."
What is your responsibility at TEACH Services?
As Publisher & Operations Manager, it is my responsibility to act as a conduit between our authors and the various departments such as editing, typesetting and graphic design. My goal is to encourage the talented, self-motivated members of each department to strive for excellence and innovation while maintaining the time-honored standards developed during our 27-year history.

What does "When You're Here, You're Family" mean to you?
This is a very literal statement for me. I work for my uncle who owns the company, I work in the same office as my dad, I work with my aunt, and my other uncle has written many books that I've helped sell! So now it's really neat to actually be a part of the TEACH team. But aside from the literal aspect for me, this is a personal and dedicated company. And although a business, it feels much more connected. We all believe in the same God and by working for Him, that's what really makes us all family.
What's your favorite book at TEACH Services?
My favorite book we have here would have to be "Swift Arrow" by Josephine Cunnington. I absolutely loved reading this book when I was a kid. It's an exciting and inspiring book and all around good read.
Who is your favorite author at TEACH Services?
Eric B. Hare. He writes such interesting and exciting stories! I grew up hearing and reading his stories and they're just as exciting now as they were before. I also really loved the book that Merikay McLeod wrote called "Now." The way the author tells the story really spoke to me and made an impression on me.

What is your responsibility at TEACH Services?
I work in product development where we look to provide books to organizations (book stores, ministries, etc.) so that as many people as possible who are in contact with those organizations may be blessed by the books we are able to share. I also work with the Resource Ministry Magazine which endeavors to share our church’s ministries and resources with hundreds of thousands of recipients.
What's your favorite part of working at TEACH Services?
Books hold a special place in my heart. Many a time I have had to pause while mid-page and sit with the urgent desire to share impactful words, an important idea, or simply a laugh with anyone. To be able to take part in sharing books with people that will touch their minds and souls, make them pause and think, or renew their love for God, is an honor.
What does "When You're Here, You're Family" mean to you?
For some time, I had prayed for a workplace that provided not just professional support, but also community. At TEACH, I was immediately greeted with friendliness and coworkers saying that we are a family. The mentality that “we are in this together” permeates interactions.

What book do you long to see written?
More children's books about walking with God in daily life. They help to build strong Christian values and I love watching my grandchildren sit and read our books while drawing closer to God.
What's your favorite memory of interacting with a customer?
The day Marie called in about her order and we ended up talking about TEACH's mission project. I shared how God had led a friend to tell me about an orphanage in Kenya who might be in need of Adventist books. Marie was amazed as she had been sponsoring this very orphanage for years and just that week they had called her to ask if she could send them books. We both knew God was bringing us together to meet their needs.
What is your responsibility at TEACH Services?
I handle all the accounting, forecasting, and I am Typo's mom.

My favorite part of working here is that I get to work daily with people who not only “talk the talk” but “walk the walk”—kind, loving, and passionate Christians who will do anything to help those who need it. I can’t imagine a better place to work! TEACH Services is a family, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
What’s your favorite book at TEACH Services?
The Enchanted Pillowcase and Other Stories. When I was a child I loved reading the stories by Josephine Cunnington Edwards—or hearing my mom read them to me! Reading of the witchcraft, exotic jewelry and dress, and completely different way of life in these mission stories was a favorite Sabbath afternoon activity.
What is your responsibility at TEACH Services?
I’m the assistant in the Publishing Department. This basically means that I do whatever I need to help the other members of our team get a job done!
