We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” -John 15:12-13
I deeply understand the numerous temptations and distractions that young people face today. It is all too easy to seek false purpose and security in worldly things, but I now know that true fulfillment and love can only be found in a relationship with God.
My life changed during a mission trip to Papua New Guinea with FOCUS after graduating from John Brown University in Arkansas. It was there that I truly encountered the love of God for myself, forming a personal relationship with the Lord and experiencing authentic love for the first time. I realized that love is not something to be earned but is freely given through God’s grace. I want others to experience and know the same. I want them to hear the Gospel and know that they were made for a relationship with God.
Before stepping into my role as a Senior Event Specialist with FOCUS, I had the privilege of serving college students at George Mason University (2018-2020) and a Team Director at Brown University (2020-2022).
As a Senior Event Specialist with FOCUS (2022-Present), I was able to bring the love and hope of God to even more students. Through planning and executing events such as our National Conference; SEEK and our New Staff Training for First and Second-Year Missionaries. This role has given me the opportunity to create environments where students and missionaries can encounter God for themselves and be transformed by His love. I know firsthand the power of experiencing God’s love, and I am passionate about helping others do the same.
It is times like these that remind me of the importance of my mission and the need for missionaries in the world today. Your support will help me and my future family continue to bring the love and hope of God to young people who are searching for truth. Together, we can make a lasting impact for the kingdom of God and bring transformation to countless lives. I implore you to consider investing in this mission to bring the gospel to the next generation of young people.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
