I am presently engaged in a multifaceted digital media project for Experience KOI Global, an organization dedicated to missionary work in Namibia. My role encompasses the creation of visually compelling Instagram Reels, designed to capture the essence of their mission in bite-sized, engaging video content. These Reels serve as a window into the organization's impactful work, leveraging the platform's algorithm to reach a broader, globally-minded audience.
Simultaneously, I am producing in-depth YouTube sermons that delve into the spiritual foundations and practical applications of Experience KOI Global's mission. These sermons offer a more comprehensive exploration of the organization's theological underpinnings and their real-world manifestation in Namibian communities.

Cooking, Watching series and learning a new skill
Cooking, Watching series and learning a new skill
Cooking is my art of preparing food using various techniques and ingredients. It ranges from me making simple home cooking to professional culinary arts, allowing for creativity and experimentation while providing essential sustenance.
My love for watching series involves following episodic television shows or streaming content, often over multiple seasons. It's a popular form of entertainment for me that offers diverse genres and allows me to engage with complex storylines and character development.
Learning a new skill is my process of acquiring knowledge or ability in a previously unfamiliar area. It typically involves me studying, practicing, and appling and contributing to my personal growth and cognitive development. This can encompass a wide range of activities, from practical life skills to creative pursuits.
