I’ll be serving at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island starting this fall! I am beyond excited to begin my mission at Brown and walk with women whom the Lord has intentionally placed in my life. Go Bears!!

Growing up in a Catholic family and attending Catholic school from preschool to 12th grade has been a tremendous blessing and created a home for me in the Catholic Church. Alas, from a social media overload and once stepping foot onto the college campus, I fell prey to the party scene and fled from the Church. Yet, there stood a tug on my heart, a longing to which I could not pin point at that time. After an endless search for meaning through other means and academics ramping up as an engineering student, I was stretched thin. One October afternoon in 2023, I received a lovingly invitation to come back to Mass by my college roommate, said yes, and when I attended Mass, was filled with immense comfort and peace as I stopped running from the place that I felt at home all my life. From that moment forward, slowly but surely, through small continual yeses, such as befriending the FOCUS missionaries on James Madison University’s Catholic Campus Ministry, I encountered Jesus who loves me deeply, transformed my heart to be like Him, and continues to pursue and purify me to draw closer to Him.

As I became increasingly more involved at CCM through leading women in a FOCUS Bible study and growing discipleship, I was asked to consider being a FOCUS missionary post-grad. As immense graces were poured out onto me through attending daily Mass and praying a Holy Hour each day over that summer, the Lord softened my heart to the idea of full-time ministry and stepping out into the deep with Him in this radical way. While I pondered and discerned serving with other missions, the Lord called me to walk with college students, as I encountered Him for the first time as a college student. Through prayer, time, and fruitful conversations with loved ones, it was made clear that FOCUS was exactly where I was meant to take my next steps as a disciple of Jesus, and the Lord highlighted the desire on my heart to bring back His lost sheep to Him, as I was once a lost sheep too and was found.

When accepting the Lord’s call to FOCUS, I commited to the spiritual and financial reliance of mission partners who make mission and sharing the Gospel to the students at Brown possible! If you are interested in partnering or learning more, please send me your contact information and I’d love to set up a meeting with you. It would be a great honor and blessing to get to know your story and partner with you on this mission!
