What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values integrity, teamwork, and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a self-motivated and experienced individual with a strong background in leadership and operations management. Currently pursuing a degree in Journalism and Communications, I have honed my skills in problem-solving and effective communication through various roles, including my recent position as Manager of Ministry Operations at Burchfield Ministry International. Here, I was responsible for coordinating events, managing a large team, and ensuring smooth operations across multiple departments.

My experience also includes working as a Youth Pastor Assistant, where I organized weekly presentations and contributed to the overall ministry efforts. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with diverse groups and tackle challenges head-on. My commitment to integrity and teamwork has been a cornerstone of my professional journey, and I am eager to bring these qualities to my next role.
