Kia ora everyone! My name is Georgia and I am SUPER excited, blessed, and grateful to get to work with you all. My hope in this role is ultimately to cultivate and nurture relationships with other people and with the Lord - my heart behind everything is God calling us to delight in Him, and so I try to keep a posture of positivity, fun, and joy in everything I do. While Anna is away, I hope to journey alongside the work she has done and add to it in a fruitful, effective way!

Little bit about me... I was born and raised in Whangarei, Northland and grew up in The Salvation Army church before moving to Wellington in 2021 for university - studying a Bachelor of Arts in Media and English. I had a friend attending The Street Night and started coming along, fell in love with the community, and never wanted to leave! For the past year and a half, I have been living and working at a Christian camp and conference center in Calabasas, California - this has become a kind-of second home for me. Working and serving in camp ministry helped me realise that God was calling me to continue down a path of servitude, and that my love for working with people in creative ways is a gift He has given me to walk out and use to build the Kingdom. I also work for Northern Easter Camp as their Comms/Creative Area Head (I call this my side hustle). I LOVE traveling, and have found my closest relationships and richest experiences come from stepping outside of my comfort zone and trusting in God's goodness. This new role for me has come at the perfect time, and I cannot wait to step back into The Street community as a more refined, on-fire-in-the-spirit version of myself.
