Brehm team grows with two new hires

Jordan Poblete joins us as Brehm’s marketing and project manager; Christina Yen joins as our events and office specialist

The Brehm Center is pleased to share that we have welcomed two new employees to our team.

Jordan Poblete, aka Jordie, is a creative advocate and strategist. Having started his professional career in digital media/marketing and strategic consulting, he now joins Brehm as our Marketing and Project Manager. He loves storytelling in all its forms, but mostly movies having most recently worked as a producer with relationships at Disney, Universal, and A24. He also leads worship at Mariners Church in Orange County, California. You’ll most likely find him at a coffee shop in Irvine, CA, where he resides with his Alaskan Husky, Augie. He’s always looking for running partners and people to go to Denny’s with.

Christina Yen joins our team as our Events and Office Specialist. She grew up in Florida, surrounded by alligators, manatees, and shuttle launches. She graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in International Studies, focusing on Economics with an Asian American Identity minor. She completed a senior honors thesis on Asian American Identity and worked at Duke University’s Center for Multicultural Affairs, advocating for diversity and inclusion on a historically white campus.

After moving to LA, Christina worked at Fuller and Caltech. She took a sixteen-year break from the traditional workforce, volunteering with elementary and middle school students and advocating for inclusion and diversity. She also coached Future Problem Solving teams during the pandemic, teaching creative and critical thinking. Christina enjoys swimming, hiking, camping, mixed martial arts, and running. She loves reading and listening to music simultaneously.
