Olga is thrilled to serve as Treasurer on the ORR board, where she integrates her professional expertise with the team’s mission to bring God’s light to the children and families of West Africa. With over 10 years of experience as a senior accountant at a large West Coast CPA firm, she is entrusted by numerous non-profits to lead their annual tax filings and navigate successful government audits. In addition to her accounting background, Olga earned a degree in Theology and Religious Studies to guide her personal walk in faith and commitment to ministry.

Olga was introduced to ORR in 2018 by attending an annual fundraiser gala in Seattle. What started as a fun ‘date night’ with her now husband, turned into a calling, as she felt God’s pull to continue supporting the mission. When Olga isn’t in the office, she enjoys tackling DIY home projects as a hands-on outlet for her creative energy.

She enjoys taking on new projects and discovering how to master them for the purpose of making things more efficient for the ORR team. As a life long learner, she enjoys the variety of work her role brings. She has a Bachelors degree in Theater and Communications and a minor in Theology from Gordon College.

Born in Canada and raised on Whidbey Island, Washington, I met Rebecca as a teenager because she was the cool older “sister” of my best friend. For all my life, I’ve had two great passions: helping others and acting (telling a story). I am constantly amazed at how God is leading me back to the things He put within me from the beginning. “He who began a good work, will complete it.” I am so pleased to have joined the ORR team as Rebecca’s Executive Assistant and work to find ways I can help make her life easier, so she is free to pursue the things that God has prepared her to do!

Amy is excited to be a part of the ORR Team! She has worked in business administration for 18 years, and has a love for community organizations. She operates in many different fields, working in her children’s classrooms teaching art, leading and organizing events with her church, and substituting at the local preschool. Amy brings a heart for helping others, and knack for detail and organization. She graduated from UW Tacoma with a BA in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, along with various continuing education courses along the way. She enjoys all the beauty Washington State has to offer, and lives there with her husband and two kids.
