Summary

Currently freelance journalist, with multiple working experiences. I have received comprehensive theological training and doctoral education. I have served in the church as a part-time pastor and chair of the church committee. My experience in church communications has made me very familiar with, and passionate about, the church, especially Ecumenism. In addition to writing news, I enjoy getting to know interviewees, building friendships with them, and naturally connecting people from different regions and backgrounds at the church or organizational level. I seek to find common ground and collaborate to promote unity and advance justice and well-being both locally and globally.
