I will be serving the University of Pittsburgh campus this upcoming academic year. Hail to Pitt! I am going into my first year on staff with FOCUS and I am so incredibly excited. I am also honored to be serving my hometown the best way I know how.

I converted to the Catholic faith as a freshman in college. I was radically pursued by Jesus Christ to love him more intimately. I took classes like Introduction to the Old Testament, I was in 2-3 bible studies, 5+ campus ministries and all of it led me, Home. I have been poured into by two different campuses’ FOCUS missionaries, and they have helped me become the best reflection of Christ I can be. Learning to love Jesus for an hour a week turned into loving and following Him for the rest of my life on earth. I am excited to give back the love I have been so freely given.

Mission is not just building houses, clothing the poor, or works of labor. It is also rebuilding the home for Christ inside of the hearts of God’s children. Mission is taking care of the poor in spirit on college campuses. We are called to love one another, and I am going on mission to do just that.

I was called to serve the Church in this way, but members of the Body of Christ are called to serve by providing spiritual and financial support. 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. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
