Program Guide
Brush Creek Christian Academy
Jay, Oklahoma
10.2021 - Current
As a Program Guide, it was my task first and foremost, to lead troubled teens to Christ. Teaching the young men how to read the Bible, how to pray and live life as a Christian has been a truly rewarding experience. I also helped Brush Creek to develop a professional online presence and set standards for social media content and helped them grow their reach.
