Hi, I’m Diego Gomes. I’m a cross-cultural leader with 10+ years of experience in youth development, pastoral leadership, counselling, and programme implementation across Brazil and New Zealand. My background combines communication, media production, and team management with formal training in counselling and family support.
I’m passionate about nurturing wellbeing in faith-based and community settings, designing curricula, mentoring volunteers, and delivering engaging content that resonates across cultures. I’m seeking opportunities in counselling, youth wellbeing, faith-based organisations, or community development, and I’m open to international relocation.
