Hello! My name is Tina Young. I am a graduate student living near Boston, MA (specifically South Hamilton, MA)
and studying at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. This is my second
year here and I am studying for my Master of Divinity, specializing in educational ministries.
Prior to coming here, I worked at Silicon Image, a semi-conductor company,
doing chip design and verification. For my undergrad, I attended
Stanford University (Go Cardinals!). I graduated in June 2001, with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and
my B.A. in German Studies, literature specialty.
Many people always ask where my hometown is. Once upon a time, it used to be easier to answer. I grew up
in LA county, specifically Winnetka, CA. This is southern Cal. However, in September 1997, I moved to Palo Alto
to attend college and stayed on for 7 years. So, I would also consider the Bay Area, especially near San Jose,
my hometown. My previous, and first, home church is New Community Baptist Church
(NCBC). It is in Mountain View, CA.
As you're probably aware by now, I am a Christian. I am currently attending and a member of
Cambridge Community Fellowship Church. I am by no means an amazing Christian,
but I try my best, with help from God and Christian brothers and sisters. While at Stanford, I was in Kaleo, a
Christian colege fellowship from my church. Post-college, I attended a Bible study group, called Joy for fellowship
and Bible study. Now I am again on the search for a new Bible study group. Prior to seminary, I taught Sunday School
to elementary school kids for 6 years and loved it! Many good memories! I have compiled lists of interesting
Christian websites and Contemporary Christian music sites. Check
them out =)!
What are my interests? They can basically be split along the lines of
technical and non-technical. Starting with technical, I'm into computers and
everything related to them. I'm into digital photography, robotics, computer
hardware, my iPod and of course, computer strategy games, like
Civilization III, Railroad Tycoon (I & II & III), The Sims II, ...
Aside from techie stuff, I'm also interested in environmentalism, music,
literature, impressionistic art, crafts, ballroom dancing and theater
productions (watching, rather than performing). Regarding music, I play the
piano and used to play the Chinese flute. My favorite period of music is the
impressionistic & contemporary and my favorite composers are Debussy and
William Gillock. As for literature, I like fictional writing, science
fiction, and Christian non-fiction. In crafts, I like to make oragami,
crosstitch, crocheting, knitting (but I'm just starting out) and hopefully I'll
pick up quilting soon.
I have also found an interest in teaching and I used to do some tutoring in
math and SATs from time to time. Ballroom dancing is one of my favorite activities =)
My favorite dance styles are hustle, swing, rotary waltz, polka and
schaudisch. It's also a huge thing at Stanford, where I picked it up =)

enjoy your stay!
