About My Family
I grew up in a family where faith and God were really important. At the age of 7, I experienced God’s love for the first time. Since then my only desire is that others might experience it, too (1 John 4:9-10).
This is my calling for life and in collegiate work—to share the awesome love of God.
To support this call, I have received a bachelor’s degree in Christian studies from Canadian Baptist Theological Seminary and College in Alberta, Canada. I also have served as a pastor of youth and young adults, a student leader in college ministries and as an overseas missionary for trips to Israel and China.
In September 2023, I will be pursuing a Master of Biblical Leadership degree to become more equipped and effective at this work. And I am committed to being involved in and participating with my home church, Supperclub Church in Edmonton.

About My Ministry
Currently I am working in a pastoral role at Evangel Chinese Baptist Church’s English congregation as a coach for youth and young adults. I disciple, preach, love and lead in many ways through this role.
Alongside this, I am starting a new Christian club at an international college in the heart of downtown Edmonton, Norquest College. This is exciting as no Christian club has existed on this campus of 12,000+ students ever! Pray the gospel will spread.
Another awesome role I have recently begun is serving as a part-time associate chaplain at the University of Alberta. This is significant, and I have much to learn in this position.
My hope is that I can serve as a resource for our local Edmonton churches and that the youth and young adults here would be blessed with the good news and grace of Jesus that I will be part of bringing.
