My journey with EMI began in the church, where I discovered a passion for missions early in life. At 20, I served with YWAM for a summer as a Mission Builder, planting seeds of purpose alongside my dream of becoming an architect.

After a decade practicing architecture, I volunteered with EMI in 2001, a pivotal step that led to a full-time position with EMI Canada in 2005. In 2010, I became the Executive Director.

Despite my leadership role, I remain committed to fieldwork, leading and mentoring on projects. Reflecting on my 20 years with EMI, I feel deep gratitude—for the people I have served alongside, God’s continuing guidance, and the privilege of helping ministries around the world grow for lasting Kingdom impact.

What I love about working for EMI Cambodia as an accountant is the opportunity to contribute to meaningful financial insights that inform our business decisions. I enjoy collaborating across the teams in the office to identify trends and find ways to improve efficiency and transparency in our financial operations.

Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This verse reminds me that God is always at work in every situation for the benefit of those who love Him and follow His purpose. It doesn’t mean that everything that happens is good, but that God can bring good out of anything. God is always in control!
