We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” – Matthew 28:19
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all share in God’s grace with me.” – Philippians 1 3-7
“My Divine Heart is so inflamed with love for men, and for you in particular that, being unable any longer to contain within Itself the flames of Its burning Charity, It must spread them abroad by your means, and manifest Itself to them (mankind) in order to enrich them with the precious graces of sanctification and salvation necessary to withdraw them from the abyss of perdition. I have chosen you as an abyss of unworthiness and ignorance for the accomplishment of this great design, in order that everything may be done by Me.” – Jesus in revelation to St. Margaret Mary on His sacred heart
Through your support, you not only share in the graces of being as if you were on mission yourself, but most importantly you help actualize and spread the love pouring forth from from Jesus’ beloved and sacred heart, which seeks to comfort and perfect every fallen soul, a gift so great and so far beyond our comprehension that we will spend an eternity in heaven adoring it. The gospel is not a mission of convicting others but one of divine love, and using that love to fend off the forces of evil for the glory of God.
I thank our Lord Jesus everyday that I could be blessed to not only receive this love but to share it with others.
Praise be to the name of Jesus and His sacred heart.
Where I serve
As of right now, I currently serve part-time at the University of Florida until I receive my full-time assignment upon my graduation in December.
My Story
During my time in college, I experienced firsthand how transformative authentic Catholic community, discipleship, and mentorship can be. Through the FOCUS bible studies, Christian brotherhood, and the blessed sacraments, I was enabled to encounter Christ in a deeper way and grew tremendously in my faith. I could not imagine what my life would look like without these influences constantly nudging my life towards the right path. The fact that you are reading this page right now is a testaments to God’s perfect love and faithfulness.
Today, many college students are searching for purpose, truth, and belonging. Approximately 80% of those raised in the Catholic faith fall away from the church during their time in college according to the national catholic register. For the first time in their lives, due to their sudden autonomy, college students are bombarded with a plethora of temptations and distractions al vying to fill the hole in our fallen hearts that only God ought to. FOCUS missionaries meet students where they are, invite them into authentic relationships, and help them encounter Jesus Christ through discipleship, bible studies, and life-on-life mentorship.
I believe God is calling me to dedicate these next years to helping students discover the joy and purpose found in a relationship with Christ, and enable them to have the freedom to live the way God intended.
