Our Goal
At Interwoven, our goal is to normalise the real struggles and challenges that Third Culture Kids (TCKs) face—reminding them that they are seen, understood, and never alone.
We are committed to creating honest, holistic resources that equip TCKs to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Our heart is to empower them with tools that nurture resilience, encourage authenticity, and support their unique journeys across cultures.
Our Values
Every TCK deserves to be heard and respected.
We honour each child’s unique story, background, and voice. Their experiences matter, and we intentionally create spaces where they feel seen and valued.
Grounded in faith.
As followers of Christ, we believe God is deeply present and active in the lives of Third Culture Kids. Our work is shaped by His love, compassion, and desire for their flourishing.Committed to child safety.
We believe every child should grow in environments that protect, respect, and nurture them—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Safeguarding is not just a policy to us; it is a core expression of our care

Being a TCK who had two TCKs as parents I feel like I have come by my Third Culture identification honestly. My own journey has been a blend of treasured experiences and struggles, much like anyone else’s.
One of my most distinct memories was the first time someone taught the Word of God like it was a message for me. I had heard it, sung it and recited it my whole life. I think it was assumed that I had got the message that God’s love was for me simply by the environment I lived in. But I really hadn’t. It wasn’t until a teacher took the time to teach the Bible like it was for my very soul and not just a tool for ministry that I came to understand that God wanted a relationship with me!
My prayer is that TCKs might meet God in the same way and believe that God knows them, sees them, and loves them.

I grew up in Australia and have only moved three times in my whole life. I have a Bachelor of Social Work degree and a Graduate Diploma in Divinity. I became passionate about working with TCKs after helping at a team retreat for Interserve. I came to realise that throughout my youth, I had friends who were Third Culture Kids and how much I valued their friendship. After returning from the retreat, I started to ask questions about what was needed to support these young people as they returned to their passport countries. Helping them find their identity in Christ was highlighted as a key need.In 2016, I moved to Cambodia where I worked with an international school and served at the international youth group which gave me better understanding of TCKs. Since coming back to Australia, my passion is to see TCKs well cared for and for organizations to do membercare with our children well.
Interwoven is a passion of mine and I want to see mission agencies work together to share the Gospel, particularly in caring for children and young adults.
