Message

At Reliant Mission, I live and work in Bandung, Indonesia, where I’m learning Indonesian and collaborating with a diverse, international team. I coordinated logistics and communications for an organization-wide conference, serving as the primary point of contact for the hotel and attendees.

I also planned and executed an annual summer program for approximately 30 American college students, facilitating ministry engagement and cross-cultural learning. At Doxa Church, I coordinated a fall festival for approximately 100 international students and supported leadership development for 20 leaders.

At Hilltop Public Solutions, I supported the production of political advertisements and coordinated communications between staff and campaign teams. I also coordinated the development of 12+ political campaign websites.
