Trisha Broy has served as an Assistant Religion Professor at Union Adventist University since 2023. Her primary academic focus is Old Testament Studies and Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology. Among other topics, she teaches courses on the Pentateuch, Old Testament Survey, and Hebrew.
Prior to joining the faculty at Union, Broy served as an adjunct for the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and as a Professor of Religion for Griggs University.
Broy has spent the majority of the last twenty summers on archaeological excavation projects around the world. She has worked on sites in Tennessee and Italy, but most of her time has been spent in Jordan. She worked as part of the excavation team at Tall Jalul for several years. Currently, she is a field supervisor on the Khirbat Safra project, an early Iron Age site overlooking the Dead Sea.
Broy grew up as the daughter of a pastor and conference administrator. Her childhood was spent in South Carolina, Virginia, southern California, Florida, and Wisconsin. She has had a life-long, behind-the-scenes view of ministry and has gained an appreciation for the challenges and triumphs faced by the families of church workers. Her more direct experience in ministry includes a year of service as a student missionary in Yokohama, Japan, where she led multiple Bible study groups and taught classes in English language studies. She has also served several years as a lay leader in Youth and Collegiate ministries, and as a Pathfinder Club Director.
Trisha Broy is married to Joe, and together they share three sons and one daughter. Trisha enjoys traveling, books, hiking, and generally anything that involves being outdoors.
