Kimberley Kroll, PhD

Associate Professor of Systematic Theology

Kimberley grew up in Long Island, NY. She has spent the past fifteen years fluttering about, living in five different states, four different countries, and on three continents. Before coming to TEDS@TWU, Kimberley taught philosophy at Grand Caynon University, literature at The Stony Brook School, as well as biblical and theological studies online for Grace Theological Seminary. If she is not teaching, reading, or writing, you can find her on some sort of outdoor adventure with her pup Numa.
