Hey there! I’m Kaliyah—a wife, mom, teacher, and coffee enthusiast, currently soaking up life in Berlin with my husband, Samuel, and our little girl, Seraphina. Originally from Oregon, I’ve had the chance to live all over. As a PK, I moved from state to state and grew up loving travel. I've now lived in China, Italy, and Germany—and traveled across six continents (still hoping to make it to Antarctica someday!).
With seven years as a missionary in China, my journey has been all about connecting faith, culture, and creativity. I’ve got a background in theology and Jewish Studies, and I’m passionate about exploring God’s Word and sharing His love wherever I go. I am currently working on my Masters of Christian Studies.
I also have a major love for musical theater, whether I’m onstage or behind-the-scenes directing or teaching. Here in Berlin, I get to teach musical theater to some amazing students, perform with the Musical Theater Society Berlin, and sing with the English Choir Berlin.
It’s all about finding joy in each new adventure and seeing where God leads next!
