With over twenty years of experience in social work, teaching, education, communication, I bring a versatile skill set shaped by diverse professional and missionary roles. My service in Madagascar, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the United States has provided invaluable cross-cultural experiences, deepening my ability to connect with people from varied backgrounds and foster meaningful engagement. Alongside strong communication and teaching abilities, I have developed core social work skills such as counseling, crisis support, and community development—equipping me to address both practical and emotional needs with empathy and care. This global perspective, combined with a strong commitment to mission, enables me to contribute effectively to a Seventh-day Adventist entity’s mandate of sharing hope across cultures. I am dedicated to using my gifts in communication, social impact, and service to advance the Lord’s work worldwide.
