“further up and further in”

Where I serve

It has been an absolute gift and honor to share the love of the Lord with college students. The Saints are right – life with Christ is a wonderful adventure! I spent my first two years as a missionary at Michigan Tech, then moved to help FOCUS expand to Ohio Northern. I came back to Michigan Tech as a Team Director last year and am so excited to enter my fifth year as a FOCUS missionary at Michigan Tech!

My Story

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel.

I grew up in a Catholic military family and learned at an early age the beautiful consistency of the Catholic faith. I loved the faith but didn’t know that Jesus wanted to have a personal relationship with me. I had an incredible encounter with the love of Jesus in high school which led me to getting a degree in Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University. Ever since, the Lord has been calling me further up and further in and showing me how deeply He loves me through Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

Your Impact

My dependence on God has grown since I have said yes to this mission. I realize every day that I can only serve if I am supported and sent. That’s where you come in. I have a team of mission partners that support me financially and spiritually. By supporting me financially you receive every reward of being a missionary. You are the heart of my mission, I simply have the joy of being your hands and feet. I would love to connect over FaceTime, grab some coffee, or send you an email about how to become a part of this mission with me! You can reach me at (262) 339 – 5634!
