My name is Cristiane Gomes, I am Brazilian and I have been an administrative assistant at Network of Nations since February 2025. My journey with NON began in 2022 when a friend invited me to a Global Women (GloW) Meeting and the Intercultural Café. These gatherings quickly became a meaningful part of my life, allowing me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and build a strong sense of community. As an immigrant in the U.S., these connections have been essential in helping me navigate challenges and feel at home.

I am married to Caio Gomes, and we have a wonderful daughter, Heloisa Gomes. Family is at the heart of my life, and I love spending time with them, traveling, cooking, and doing crafts. My home church is CCC, which, along with NoN, has been a vital support system for me. Through these communities, I have found friendship, encouragement, and a deeper sense of belonging in my new home.
