I am a university student majoring in Global and Intercultural Engagement and a minor in Public Health. I am working with both my university and Converge to be able to go on an internship over the Spring semester of 2026 to learn and grow in cross-cultural ministry experience.

The Lord laid cross-cultural ministry on my heart in my Freshman year of college when I first heard about the need for gospel proclamation in unreached people groups. I began taking classes on cultural communication and engagement and my love for ministry in different cultures continued to deepen. I am excited to put my education and my calling to use in Japan, and see what the Lord may be leading me toward in the future.

Over the course of my internship I look forward to working with the large unreached population of Japan, supporting church plants, helping ministry efforts, discipling the believers there, as well as being discipled by locals and long-term global workers.
