I serve as the Team Director at Boston University with 3 amazing teammates – Natalia, Matthew, and Therese (pictured left to right). BU has a thriving Catholic Center with a dedicated chaplain, staff, and students. We hit a record number of bible study participants last year and are eagerly looking forward to the opportunities the Lord will give us this coming academic year.

Although I grew up Catholic, I fell away from the faith in high school. When I came to college at William & Mary, I considered myself an atheist.

One invitation changed everything. An email from the campus chaplain inspired me to attend my first mass in 3 years, which led to me making my first confession in 3 years. As the priest gave me absolution, I could feel the weight of sin being lifted from me. I didn’t know it yet, but my life was changed!

My journey with the Lord in college became a series of invitations – to join a bible study, to reject sin, to build a life ofprayer. As I grew closer to the Lord, I asked Him if He was inviting me to become His priest. After graduating in 2024 with a B.S. in Kinesiology, I entered priestly formation for the Diocese of Richmond at Mt. St. Mary’s Seminary. My prayer during seminary did not suggest that I should continue in formation, so I left after a year.

After leaving seminary, the Lord very quickly extended another invitation…to become a FOCUS missionary! I accepted, and I am so thankful that He has enabled me to join Him in His work of reaching souls.

I am blessed to have 2 friends from W&M with me in FOCUS – Patrick, and George (pictured left to right).

Giving your generous hearts to this mission is what makes our work as missionaries possible. During my first year at B.U., I was blessed to lead 2 bible studies (1 of which was in a social fraternity) and invited 8 men into discipleship over the year. From random conversations in the student cafeteria to Easter vigil parties, B.U. is ripe with fruit for harvesting (cf John 4:35).

Let’s walk together on mission! Your support helps to transform the lives of students in ways small and big – from the student who hears about God’s love for the first time to the student who makes Christ the center of their lives.

Help me to make Christ known!
