Where I serve

After serving on campus at the United States Air Force Academy for the past three years, I now help run Production for the SEEK Conference.

Having grown up in an Air Force family, I was very excited to serve on the cadets the past three years! They are some of the most extraordinary young people I have ever met. Their passion to serve not only their country, but their fellow cadets is truly inspiring. They call me higher every day with their examples of character, dedication, and integrity.

I am now incredibly excited to use the gifts and skills from my degree to help facilitate the SEEK Conference. It had a direct impact on my reversion in college, and I have seen how much it affected the growth of our students while I was a campus missionary.

My Story

I had the great blessing of being raised in the Catholic faith. My three younger siblings and I were born in Lompoc California while my parents served at Vandenberg Air Force Base. When I was 10, my father got a job at the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) at Offutt Air Force Base in Sarpy County NE, and our family has been there for the past 11 years. I graduated from the University of NE-Lincoln in 2023, and the Newman Center on campus changed my life. I encountered the person of Christ who led me to the Holy Trinity; my heart was ravished. I had always heard that I was a daughter of God, but this was the first time that I felt that truth resonate in the deepest places of my heart. I fell in love with the Catholic faith in a new way. I began leading bible studies and mentor groups for both college and high school students. Walking with young women in this way and getting to watch the Lord change their lives and heal their hearts, I started to feel a tug on my own. I felt a deep desire for all those around me to encounter the person of Christ and know how deeply and personally they are loved by Him. I think of His words, “I thirst” and know that He is speaking those words today, speaking of His thirst for souls and His desire to see us all in heaven. I want people to know this, to know that they have the freedom to accept Him into their lives. I want to serve the Lord by bringing this truth to people and pray that those I encounter on campus can know that He is real, and experience His transformative, healing, and merciful love for them.

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission.
