England Team

Program Director

Born in Texas and raised in Connecticut by a wonderful Lutheran pastor's family of seven, Hannah went to school for International Studies with an emphasis in Missiology at Concordia University Irvine in Southern California. She was able to study abroad twice during her undergraduate career which ignited a passion for sustainable short term mission work that the Lord brought to fruition in her own life as she became a Resident Coordinator in Rome for two years. She will be directing L&LI's new London semester this upcoming spring.

Resident Coordinator

Born and raised in Southern California and the oldest of three daughters to missionary parents, Olivia finished her education at Vanguard University in Intercultural and Interpersonal Communication after spending a year on the mission field in Budapest, Hungary teaching English and coaching soccer. That year ignited her heart for international spaces and global outreach and she has continued to pursue that calling on her life. In between trips you can find her surfing, pressing deep into her community, or hiking with her dog. She is excited to help launch the program in London with L&LI for the Spring 2025 semester.
