Hi friend, I’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Rebecca, and for the past several years, I worked in international development—chasing a dream I’d held since college of becoming a humanitarian diplomat. I studied business and later earned a master’s in international relations, hoping to help build a freer, safer, and more prosperous world.

But recently, God has redirected my path. Instead of serving people’s physical needs through programs and policies, He has called me to care for their spiritual ones. Today, I live in Romania as a missionary, where I get to share the love of Jesus, help strengthen a local church, teach English, and walk alongside people in their everyday lives.

This transition has been both humbling and exciting. It’s been an adventure full of stretching, learning, and trusting God in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Here on The Citizen Diplomat, I’ll be sharing stories from my missionary journey in Romania, reflections from my travels, and the lessons God is teaching me along the way. My hope is that this space encourages you, whether in your own faith, your calling, or simply your everyday walk of life.

So grab a cup of coffee (or tea!) and join me here—I’d love for this to feel like a place where we can journey together.
