Amonda Matthewman-Isgrigg spent her childhood constantly reading, which led to her to believe she would pursue a degree in English. After going on missions trips in high school, she felt God calling her to pursue a degree in missions. She attended Nelson University.
After using her writing skills in church administration, she wanted to validate her English and compositional knowledge and pursued a masters degree in English from Northeastern State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She has taught English at K-12 schools, homeschool co-ops, college, and conducted writing workshops. She is passionate about helping students gain the skills and insight they need for their academic and vocational careers.
As a voracious learner, she again pursued more knowledge, this time in the Education program at ORU as a doctoral student and was chosen as the Outstanding Doctoral Student of the Year.
Dr. Matthewman-Isgrigg has published articles focused on the current and future university students in The Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for Christians in Higher Education. She is the sponsor of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society at ORU. She was the 2025 College of Arts and Cultural Studies Excellence in Education Faculty recipient. She is also a licensed Assemblies of God minister.
