Academic Advisors
Barb Loftin, ACC, CPLC
President and Founder of B Loftin Cosmetics LLC, Barb got her feet wet in the entrepreneur world in 2000 when she converted her experience in retail cosmetic sales into her own eCommerce business providing premium skincare and color for women. This business translated into the philosophy of beauty from the inside out.
In 2013, Barb felt God call her into training to be a Christian Life Coach. She received her CPLC from the Professional Christian Coaching Institute in 2015 and her ACC in 2017. She loves to encourage and walk alongside women to help them become Gods intended best and invite them to pursue and deepen a love relationship with the Father. With a heart for hurting people, she wants to help others move forward gaining perspective, clarity and hope and helps accomplish that goal with her coaching business, New Pathways Coaching.
Forty-six years ago, Barb married her high school sweetheart, Denny and they live in Florence, Kentucky. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters, who have blessed them with 4 delightful and adorable grandchildren. Her daughters and families live at opposite ends of the country which calls for much travel time.
She has a BA in Communication and a minor in Psychology from Northern KY University and lovingly
serves her local church in the capacities of prayer, worship and hospice ministries.
Jessica Fall, ACC, CPLC
Jessica brings 20 years of professional experience in process creation/improvement, project management and training. A true “activator” & “connector” at heart, she is fueled by helping people and processes work well together. She currently serves as the Dean of our Admissions department and oversees the Academic Advisory team.
Alongside of her professional pursuits, ministry leadership has always played a strong role in Jessica’s life. From the early days of youth ministry to more recent roles as Director of Women’s Ministry and MOPS Ministry, she holds a deep passion for helping others grow in their spiritual life.
After a break from the business world to begin a family, the Lord prompted her to begin coach training with PCCI. Now a Certified Professional Life & Leadership Coach, she is privileged to partner with Christian women seeking to walk out the fullness of God’s calling on their life.
Jessica and her husband James are southern-California transplants, now living in the Knoxville, TN area. There they are raising two elementary-aged sons and living the minivan dream. Jessica enjoys coffee, life-giving friendships, and little adventures with her family.
Maggie Meylor
Maggie comes to her role as an Academic Advisor with 20+ years of experience in the business world. She is passionate about empowering people to do the deep work that will grow them to their full potential and help them live the life they were created to live. She believes that when we are living our true calling is when we feel most fully alive.
A native of Wisconsin, Maggie has since moved to Southern Illinois where she lives with her husband of 37 years, Mark. Together, they raised two daughters who are both married, and they are blessed with two beautiful grandchildren.
Maggie loves to learn, especially about best business practices and business development. In her free time, you can find her playing tennis, pickleball, golf, riding bikes and taking long walks with her dog, Olive.
Delinda Summers
With a passion for helping others reach their true potential within their home, marriage, church, and community, Delinda joins the Academic Advisory team with over fifteen years of experience in service-oriented roles in East Tennessee.
Delinda’s professional and service background includes nonprofit senior home care, church and inner-city ministry, and marriage mentoring and coaching. She believes her true calling is helping others toward the next chapter God’s story has for their lives, just as she seeks and strives to follow His best for her own.
Although she is a Florida native, Delinda and her husband Gregg have resided in Sevierville, Tennessee for sixteen years. She enjoys taking in the beauty of God’s creation, being creative while homeschooling eleven-year-old son Harrison, and loves having “all her chicks in the nest” when their adult children, Savannah and Conley, visit.
