Helen earned her Master’s degree in Biblical Studies in 1998 at thePacific School of Religion, one of nine seminaries that belong to the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA. After earning her degree, she spent four years as Director of the Foundation for Biblical Research in New Hampshire which provided workshops for lay people conducted by leading Bible scholars, as well as professional development opportunities for clergy and other church leaders. This was followed by 16 years of teaching the Bible to Christian Scientists throughout the country, including three years of teaching the Bible and Christian history at Principia College. She has been editor-in-chief for an ongoing Bible study curriculum series for the past decade with the nonprofit, Bible Study Seminars (https://www.bibleandspirituallife.org).
