transform our world

A global Christian nonprofit empowering faith-driven leaders to create tangible, lasting transformation in their communities through strategic initiatives, collaboration, and innovation.

During my 23-year tenure, I held diverse roles that contributed to organizational growth, community impact, and movement-building: Leadership & Strategic Alliances: Built intercessory prayer networks, facilitated reconciliation efforts among diverse groups, and coached leaders on faith-driven business and community transformation.

Community Impact: Led strategic ministry initiatives in California cities like Salinas and Vallejo, launched a statewide prayer movement, and collaborated with government, nonprofit, and business leaders.

Media Production: Established and scaled in-house media capabilities, producing high-quality video series like Transformation NOW! and The School of Transformation while significantly reducing costs.

Development & Outreach: Partnered on effective fundraising campaigns, created training materials and courses, promoted events, and served as a public speaker to advance the organization’s vision.

This work equipped me with a unique blend of leadership, media, and strategic development skills that delivered lasting impact locally and globally.
