I am so happy you are interested in attending DTS! I moved to Dallas in December 2007 from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and began as an MACE student in January 2008. Coming to Discover Dallas solidified in my heart and mind that DTS was where God wanted me to be. The admissions team was extremely instrumental in guiding me towards the degree I needed in order to fulfill my ministry goals. In fact, I had such an awesome experience with the admissions process that I jumped at the opportunity to join their team!

Please call or email me at any time regarding questions you have about the admissions process here at DTS.

Cooking, watching movies, listening to music, reading, and enjoying the great outdoors every chance I get.
