Where I serve

I currently work as a Manager of Employee Relations in the Staff Care/HR department, serving our staff at the Denver Support Center and FOCUS Mission Foundation, as well as the international missionaries. Previously, I served at Idaho State University for four years, from 2021 – 2025.

My Story

Growing up, I had no interest in or understanding of God, and when I started college at Colorado State University, I considered myself to be atheist. But Jesus had other plans for me. He used close friends to first begin softening my heart to realize that I was missing something. Then after the sudden loss of my younger brother, Jesus showed me that what was missing from my life was Him all along. He began to help slowly put the pieces back together after my family’s loss. Jesus found me at a time when I was lost and broken, and I have Him to thank for the love and joy that my life is filled with now. It’s an honor to get to serve our staff, and through them college students and parishioners, by helping them encounter Jesus the same way I did back in college. I never cease to be amazed at the transformation that can take place when we open ourselves up to God! Please pray for me, my family, and the FOCUS apostolate!

Your Impact

When we answered the call to join FOCUS, we made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help us through this mission. We’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with us as we serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with us, please let us know of the best way to reach you and we will schedule an appointment. We’d be honored to partner with you in this mission!
