My background is rooted in a spectrum of environments—urban, international, community-based, and cross-cultural—that collectively shaped my approach to service, education, and leadership. I’ve lived in Texas, New Jersey, and Virginia, each offering distinct cultural rhythms that informed my identity and interpersonal insight. Through these foundations, I expanded my impact across Oklahoma, California, and New York, engaging in hands-on mission work with underserved neighborhoods, often through immersive 24/7 outreach focused on trust-building and long-term relationships.
My global experience extends to Peru (Lima) and Mexico, where I facilitated community-centered missions, navigating linguistic, socioeconomic, and cultural challenges with empathy and adaptability. In Korea, I contributed to cultural and language education initiatives—translating heritage into meaningful instruction and mentorship. Whether serving as an evangelizer across churches in Virginia, New Jersey, and Texas; leading praise and spiritual reflection; tutoring international students toward academic success; or coaching physical training and sparring—each role has been influenced by the texture of the environment I was in
