In addition to teaching Introduction to Religion, Christianity, Women and Christianity, Women and Religion, and Western Religions, Sandi directed several students’ and seminarians' church internships, either as academic advisor or on-site supervisor. In 2018 she earned her doctorate in the History of Christianity from Union Presbyterian Seminary, after which she was called to Louisa Presbyterian Church and began serving our church family in September 2018. Sandi retired from teaching at R-MC in December 2023.
