(Dr. phil., Heidelberg University) is a sociocultural anthropologist with a focus on value relations within Christianity, particularly as it pertains to living a Christian life.

She earned her doctoral degree from the Faculty of Behavioral and Cultural Studies at Heidelberg University in Germany. Her perspectives draw on life and employment experiences as a German-American Protestant in Micronesia, the United Kingdom, South Korea, the United States, Japan, and Germany.
