Adrian Lock
Campus Staff Member | adrian_lock@ivstaff.org
Adrian graduated from USC (don't judge him) in 2006, and was involved with the InterVarsity chapter there throughout his time in college. After wandering around the outside world for a few years, he decided to make his way back to college ministry. He loves watching students deeply engage with scripture and seeing people healed and transformed by God. He is also passionate about calling people to take risks for Jesus and helping the fellowship explore what it means to be a multi-ethnic community.
Adrian also lives by the motto, "Play now, play later!" and loves sports including, basketball, volleyball, football, frisbee, kickball, dodgeball, bocce ball, four-square, tag, hopscotch, jump rope, and whatever else you can think of. Oh, and he is kind of competitive.

Eliana Lee
Campus Staff Member | esolee@gmail.com
When Eliana first came to Stanford, when only 4 universities were on Facebook and when Old Union was actually old, she thought the Christians here were weird and didn't want to play with them. (Oh how the tables have turned.) You can talk to her about being a Bio major/Stanford premed, neuropsych research, (un)healthy PHEelings, good/bad posture, sophomore slump, Stanford Duck Syndrome, and froyo. She also enjoys hearing stories about nearly anything so please tell her one when you see her.
Taiei Harimoto
Campus Staff Member | taiei_harimoto@ivstaff.org
Taiei is excited and grateful to serve InterVarsity at Stanford as full-time staff again this year! He's looking forward to growing, and seeing God transform students and the Stanford campus. Taiei loves to bike and build things and eat good food, as well as pulling the occasional prank (don't mess). He grew up in Japan and loves real sushi.

Estelle Luk
Intern | estelle_luk@ivstaff.org
Estelle is an INFP (according to Myers-Briggs) with a penchant for climbing anything that looks climbable. She likes a good adventure story and loves that Jesus has taken her on many more real adventures than she had ever been on before. These new experiences include shaving her head, jumping off of a waterfall, trying things she's not at all good at, pursuing the hobbies that make her feel alive, and, scariest, loving people for who they are. She can't wait to see what God does in students' lives during her intern year.

Kiel Russell
Intern | kiel.j.russell@gmail.com
Kiel is a confused young man – born and raised in Washington state (in a white school and black church), graduated in 2010 from Duke (and attended a predominantly Asian/Asian American IV fellowship), and is now an intern at Stanford (in a multiethnic chapter). Huh? But he’s really excited about the experiences and lessons God has given him and is hoping to give to and learn from Stanford. When he’s not confused, you can probably find him playing or watching sports, talking about race and race-related issues, or enjoying the sunshine he didn’t get in Washington. He does like some confusion though, especially when it involves him and students being stretched and challenged by God.
