In my two years of serving college students at the University of Rhode Island, I had the privilege of leading students on 2 mission trips to Central America to serve the poor; and one pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal and World Youth Day in 2023. Now the Lord has opened the door for me to serve on our Missions Team full-time; facilitating mission trips for university students from all over the country to serve the poor all over the world! It is an incredible privilege to be called to a life of mission, as I enter into my third year of leading college students deeper into the love of Jesus Christ.

Brought up Catholic with a loving family and a great foundation, I still found myself at arms-length from truly embracing my faith. I didn’t see faith as a means of finding joy and happiness, and sought it elsewhere. All of that began to change when I met two friends, Pat and Wyatt, my freshman year of college. Through their witness of true faith and a real desire to know Jesus Christ, God began a new work in my heart. By His grace, I began the journey to a deeper faith, love, and hope in Jesus Christ and His church! Now He has invited me to step into the life of college students, to bring them this joy and invite them to embrace the life-changing Gospel that they were made for. In the words of St. John Paul II,  It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you.

When the Lord invited me to join FOCUS, I made a leap of faith in God to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. It would be a blessing to have you as a partner in fulfilling Jesus’ great commission, through your prayer and financial support! If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I would love to share more. I’d be honored to walk in this mission with you.
