I have been called to serve as the team director at Arizona State University for my third year on mission where I have the opportunity to intentionally invest in the athletic teams as a Varsity Catholic missionary. Through Bible studies, discipleships, one-on-one conversations, attending games and practices, and taking spontaneous adventures, I seek to invite college athletes into the deeper truth of who Christ is simply by sharing life with them.

I attended Benedictine College where I pursued a degree in Elementary Education while simultaneously serving in campus ministry and running cross country and track. I was drawn into a deeper understanding of what it means to love and serve others through these various encounters I had within these organizations, and I seek to continue this service to others through FOCUS. Christ transformed my heart through the life-giving relationships I experienced throughout my time in college, and He continues to invite me deeper into these relationships.

My own personal transformation in college has formed a desire in me to bring the joy I experienced to others and introduce them to the message of the Gospel. Jesus humbled Himself to meet us on our level throughout His ministry on earth, and most of His time was spent investing deeply in a few. His example is the best method for reaching the world. I am constantly amazed at the ways Christ’s example continues to work in and through so many individuals in a way that changes lives forever.

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 through this mission. 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.
