This upcoming fall I will begin serving as a FOCUS Missionary at Towson University in Maryland. On this mission I am attempting to spread the Gospels to all nations, starting with a small campus outside the city of Baltimore.

The pursuit of truth is to pursue what is ultimately good. For many years, the truth was in my heart, but I did not listen to it, nor did I embrace it. Instead, I sought comfort in video games, college culture, and endless distractions. I never prayed, refused to go to church, and hesitated to pick up the Bible, even though I understood that by reading its words of wisdom, they would alter how I treated myself and others. It was only until I lost a childhood friend in my junior year of college that I began to understand how sacred life is—especially my own.

I looked inward and tried to do away with all the sin that was plaguing my soul. But even with this self-inspired effort, I needed more to overcome the weight upon my shoulders. It took a couple of years, but I eventually rediscovered the practice of private prayer, the sacrament of confession, and the importance of attending weekly Mass. But of course, I could not have done it alone. Through joining young adult Catholic communities after graduating college in 2023, I found individuals who invested in me and led me toward an action-based belief in God.

This is where I pray to make an impact through mission with FOCUS. I have a deep desire to connect with individual college students and lead them toward an action-based belief in Christ—one where they actively engage with the Catholic sacraments and vibrant faith communities.

If you’re interested in joining my support team, please let me know the best way to reach you, and I will be sure to schedule an appointment. It would be an honor to share this mission with you.
