We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10
My name is Emily and I am excited to be serving as the Team Director at my alma mater, the University of Memphis. Go Tigers!
I was blessed to grow up in a loving, Catholic family and had many opportunities from early on to grow in my faith. When I began college, I was desperately searching for belonging and for people to run towards Heaven with. When I met the missionaries on my campus, I was shocked by the radical way they were living out the Gospel through prayer, virtue, & authentic friendship. Witnessing the way they centered their lives around God showed me what abundant life looks like, made me desire it, & gave me an example of how to live it out.
I started leading a Bible study my senior year. It was one of the greatest gifts I have ever received to watch these women fall madly in love with God and be changed by the conviction that their identity does not lie in their chapter, their grades, or their friends, but simply in being beloved daughters of a good and loving Father.
Below are photos of some of the women I have been blessed to walk with over the years.
I would love to share more of my story with you sometime!
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. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you. It would be an honor and a joy to share in this mission with you! May God bless you!

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.
