I am blessed to have been placed at Eastern Tennessee State University with my teammates Simon, Maria, Ryan, and Ryan’s wife, Mikayla and son, Phineas!

Growing up Catholic, I always knew who God was, but it was not until college that I began developing a personal relationship with Him. I attended Clemson University when I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Health Science. During my time at Clemson, I was blessed with intentional friendships, Bible study, daily prayer, and the sacraments, to encounter the Lord in a deeper way and learn what it means to walk with Him personally. My relationship with Christ has transformed my life by bringing me greater peace, deeper friendships, and a desire to share His love with others.

Throughout college, many of the people I most admired and looked up to were FOCUS missionaries. I was deeply impacted by the intentional way they pursued friendship with me, invited me into a deeper relationship with Christ, and joyfully lived out their faith. Through their witness, as well as my own experience leading Bible study, I realized the Lord was calling me to walk with college students in the same intentional way others once walked with me. I desire to help students encounter Christ and discover the deeper meaning and purpose found in a relationship with Him during such a pivotal season of life.

My call to FOCUS gives me the unique opportunity to rely on people like you for support — you are essential to this mission! I am honored and grateful that you are considering joining my team in reaching the world for Christ. Your “yes” to mission by giving in support of the work I do on campus allows me and my team to host campus ministry events for students, give students scholarships to attend Catholic conferences and retreats, and lead our students in Bible study and discipleship groups. Thank you for your support, and please know of my prayers for each one of you! Don’t hesitate to reach out, and please know of my prayers for you! God bless!
