Hello! I am serving my first year on mission at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I first made a conscious choice to live out my Catholic faith in college at the University of Wisconsin Madison. I began to mess around at the Catholic Center, making some friends, but definitely not “all-in” for the Faith. After a few very tough months in 2022, I found myself finally bridging my social life, academics, hobbies, and FAITH LIFE! A FOCUS missionary pushed me HARD to pray more, love more, and invite more, on a very secular campus. I will never forget her love and patience with me, and the ripple effects have led many others closer to Jesus, and some to encounter Him for the very first time.

FOCUS missionaries are set on bringing the truest and greatest love of Jesus Christ into intentional and consistent friendships with those on campus. With a recent masters degree in Secondary Spanish Education, I could have gone right into my teaching career. However, I chose to be a FOCUS missionary because I truly believe that this mission will not only push me to be holier, but it will bring so many of my sisters-in-Christ to Christ’s joyous and loving heart. What a gift it is to share the best news ever (aka salvation!) with those who are just about to go to the workforce and share their own stories!

FOCUS missionaries rely on mission partners to support our mission and living expenses. As a donor, you play a crucial role in reaching the souls on campus, not only through financial support to keep me on campus, but especially through your prayers for all the lovely students I serve– which in turn, you help serve too 🙂 What a gift it is to share in mission with you all!
