Professional
Dr. Dixon taught secondary school business and computer courses for 13 years, which included four years at an international school in Nairobi, Kenya.

She also spent 11 years teaching MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) candidates at George Fox University, and supporting and directing the university’s regional sites in Salem, Redmond, and Boise. Dr. Dixon joined Corban in 2013.
Personal
Kristin likes traveling (she has been to more than 30 countries), hiking, drinking coffee with family and friends, spending time with family, and serving at her church.
Why Corban
“First of all, I believe teaching and counseling represent a calling from the Lord, which provides significant opportunity to love, educate, guide, and influence others. Corban has a strong presence in local school communities—both public and private, faith-based schools—as well as schools in Indonesia. Our counseling department is preparing counselors to bring healing to individuals with significant wounds and help them find greater freedom. It is a privilege to serve beside both educators and counselor-educators, knowing the long-term spiritual impact these professions have on others.”
