“Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out his compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now.” ~ Teresa of Avila

Where I serve

I am currently serving my third year on staff at Clemson University, where I’ll be working specifically with the women in Greek life. Please keep my team and the students we will be serving in your prayers. Go Tigers!

My Story

I was raised Catholic by my two wonderful parents and practiced my faith throughout high school. However, when I entered college, I became distracted by the many things the world had to offer. Although I continued to attend Mass, my faith took a back seat and was no longer a true priority in my life.

Everything began to change when a FOCUS missionary invited me to her Bible study and intentionally invested in me. Through her friendship and guidance, I was able to step back and re-evaluate what truly mattered. I realized something needed to change.

That year, I spent countless hours in the chapel, praying the same simple but earnest prayer:
“Jesus, transform my life. I give you my life.”

Over time, I heard the Lord speak clearly to my heart: I could not choose Him only in the quiet of the chapel—I must choose Him in my daily life. Slowly, the changes He was asking of me became undeniable.

The following year was filled with difficult decisions and learning to embrace the joy and love of the Lord that came through trials and suffering. I fell more deeply in love with the Eucharist and with encountering Jesus through the Sacrifice of the Mass. The Lord did indeed transform my life, and now my heart burns with the desire to share the joy of the Gospel—the joy of knowing Jesus Christ—with others.

His will be done. God be praised!

Your Impact

My call to mission is rooted in fully trusting the Lord and humbly relying on the support of others. Your partnership—both financial and spiritual—is essential to the work God is doing on campus, and I am so excited to share the fruits of this apostolate with you. It is truly a joy to invite you to be part of this mission alongside me.

If you are interested in supporting me or would like to learn more about my work on campus, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Know that I am praying for you!
