Introducing New Volunteer: Angela Utomo

Angela Utomo is another new member of our Counsel@CrossCulture team.  Angela is a volunteer who will pick up some general tasks at the centre like reception work, cleaning and preparing materials for upcoming events.

Angela is originally from Indonesia, the eldest of four siblings and with parents actively involved in Christian ministry.  She has lived in Melbourne for the past four years.  For most of that time she has been a part of CrossCulture Church and serving regularly with Mercy Ministries.  Last year Angela graduated from a Masters of Applied Psychology (Community) at Victoria University and this year is working as a University tutor and Casual Relief Lecturer for Psychology and Social Work students.

In addition to her volunteer work at Counsel@CrossCulture, Angela also volunteers at a Helpline for people who care for loved ones with a mental illness.  Angela is keen to learn about Christian approaches to counselling and psychological interventions which is one of the reasons why she is offering her time to Counsel@CrossCulture.

Angela’s research and work interests include supporting refugees and asylum seekers, young people’s mental health and prevention of sexual violence.  In her spare time she enjoys dark chocolate, fine dining and organising events – a great set of skills for our growing counselling ministry! 

If visiting the Counselling Centre on Wednesdays, you will likely find Angela at the front desk.
