United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I bring a blend of counseling experience, program leadership, and education. As a Residential Counselor, I engaged with teenagers in mental health counseling, led therapeutic lessons, and wrote detailed reports to keep supervisors informed about client behaviors and activities.
In 2025, I founded and served as Program Director for an academic and personal counseling program at Jakarta International University, including team management to recommend students to professional counselors. I also teach English and world religion, creating self-made curriculums, preparing assessments, and producing student progress reports for parents—while working toward my goal of becoming a Christian Therapist.
