MEET THE TEAM
Every dream has a group of people to make it a reality.

Kevin Aquino
Internal Operations Director Kevin's call to serve alongside the others on Liberate came after serving the Lord in Thailand.

Kevin oversees the financial aspect of Liberate. From creating methods to organize the finances earned, to day-to-day financial operations are smooth, his role at Liberate is to ensure the monetary side is in order. Currently, Kevin works as a Program Representative at Azusa Pacific's University College. |

Brooke has also led the Worship portion of the past two Liberate events and will continue to use her gift at the next event: Liberate: Hope.

Shea Suiter
External Operations Director Shea believes in loving on others, empowering people fully, and fighting for those who can’t always fight for themselves. This passion was shaped while serving in the ministry of anti human trafficking locally for three years and abroad in Thailand during the summer of 2018. God used these experiences to stir in Shea a calling to equip and empower those who have been coerced into a life they did not ask for. Shea attended APU, loves her job as a Yearbook Representative where she gets to pour into student journalism programs, has the best cat named Willow, and wants to get tacos with you! |
Gabbie Aquino-Adriatico
International Relations/Advocate Gabbie believes that reducing poverty creates access for individuals to live out their dreams. She has a deep compassion for her brothers and sisters around the globe who are coerced into the industry of sex tourism and trafficking. After traveling to Thailand and working personally with human trafficking victims, her burning passion led her to continue her fight to bring victims out of the darkness through Liberate. Currently, Gabbie lives in Houston, Texas with her husband and works as an after school counselor. She stays connected to her team through technology and hopes to continue to serve in Thailand annually. |
