Encountering Jesus deeply as a teenager undone every assumption and plan that I had in mind for myself. In Christ, I found the love of my life and my greatest treasure. I believe Jesus holds the key to every question, desire, heartache, dream and hope in life. This conviction shapes the way I lead and serve. Through leading, forming, and equipping others, I seek to create spaces where people can encounter the goodness and greatness of Jesus in their own lives.

Little did I imagine that one day I would be working in the Lord’s vineyard! I began my professional life as a librarian, yet the Lord’s plans for me (Jer 29:11) unfolded through many twists and turns, leading me to where I am now — happily immersed in this mission of evangelisation. My faith journey remains a mystery, as I continue learning how great and wonderful God is. Through difficult relationships, emotional challenges, and anxieties, I discovered that God loved me and never gave up — sending help to overcome the roadblocks I faced.

As I learned to discern life’s realities more deeply, I began to see God’s hand inviting and shaping me, calling me to holiness, communion, and mission. I am far from perfect. There are days when I still feel anxious and worried about family, loved ones, and work. Yet I am growing in the grace to cast my fears, worries, and joys upon the Lord, saying, ‘Jesus, I trust in You.’ Today, I lift my hands in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, who loves with an everlasting love (Jer 31:3).

I’m in this mission because I’ve seen what happens when people truly encounter Jesus Christ - hearts come alive, purpose becomes clear, and ordinary lives become part of God’s extraordinary story. The Church changed my life, not as an institution, but as a living community where Christ is present and people walk with one another toward holiness. I believe the church can become a place where faith is real, hope is tangible, and love is visible. My desire is simple: to make Jesus known and loved, helping people meet Him and grow into all they are called to be in Christ.

As a kid, I wanted to be a Power Ranger. As a teen, I wanted to be a writer. God's plan was to have me in ministry, being a channel of His supernatural power and using my charisms - including writing - for His glory. I'm glad I've pursued God's plan, bigger and better as they are from what I can possibly imagine.

My prior experience in youth ministry laid the foundation of what it means to serve God our Father and His people. Ministry work transformed my relationship with Jesus. It gave me immense joy to contribute so humbly. After over 16 years of leading brand, content and communication projects, I now gladly use my skills to serve the Lord once again. As His mouthpiece, I serve and support the mission of cultivating more disciples to grow in and with His Kingdom.

Being actively involved in ministry work as a youth played a significant role in shaping my character and perspective on life. Having the opportunity to labour in the vineyard reminds me to stay grounded in faith and humility, and to treat one another with grace and love.

I am continually moved by the beauty and goodness in everyday life - whether in the privilege of listening to the stories of those I encounter, admiring the beauty of creation, the moments of solitude and silence, and everything in between. When I slow down and notice, life becomes a space of encounter, often leaving me in awe of its marvels. It is here that I encounter Truth Himself; where I catch glimpses of His infinite goodness.

And so, I desire to share the Gospel in ways that are rooted in real, lived experience - honest about the questions, struggles, hopes, and joys that shape our daily lives. I believe that within these moments lie deep truth, beauty, and goodness, all of which point us back to our Lord Jesus.

Through creative, thoughtful, and genuine communication, my hope is to help others recognise Christ’s presence in their own stories and encounter His love in all that is true, good, and beautiful.

After university, I joined an events agency and was soon traveling the world, managing high-profile projects, and growing in my career. I loved the excitement and recognition, but over time, I realized that success alone couldn’t fulfill me. My work had begun to consume my life, and I knew I needed a change.

Through it all, my faith and church community kept me grounded. I learned to listen, trust God, and step into the unknown. In 2024, I joined the ONE as an events executive. Today, I use my skills to create meaningful experiences for parishes, ministries, and everyday Catholics. This journey has taught me that true fulfillment comes not from accolades or travel, but from purpose, balance, and serving where God calls. I now go home after work each day joyful, energized, and at peace — grateful for the chance to live a life aligned with my faith and passion.

Spending more than 20 years in ministry work through Secondary Catechism and Altar Servers, my faith in Christ grew as I witnessed how Jesus touched the lives of others. Experiencing community within ministry helped me to understand more about what it meant to give myself fully in service to His will and calling. Seeing youth grow in faith and love allowed me to know more about how much God loved me.

After doing stakeholder engagement and volunteer management in the social services sector as well as working in mass communication, it is a blessing to be part of the mission to help people and parishes to become living witnesses for Christ through communion, mission and evangelisation. I pray that Christ will use me as His broken vessel to do His will.
