Where I serve

God has called me to serve college students at the University of Washington, Seattle! This is my second year on staff with FOCUS. In Washington I will be leading engaging bible study’s, hanging at the UW Catholic Newman Center, meeting students on campus, hiking with the guys, and so much more!

My Story

I have been blessed to be raised by amazing parents, mentors, and teachers who have passed the gift of the faith to me. Growing up I knew a lot about Jesus but I never had a personal relationship with Him…

Until in high school when my best friend Max offered me a simple yet powerful invite to go deeper in my faith. Since then I had a hunger to pursue God. As I went to college I was challenged in many ways; however, the Lord had a plan for me! I found myself at the local Newman center. There I met an incredible community and focus missionaries. In college, I rediscovered my faith and I encountered the Gospel! I learned how to have live in virtue, have a prayer life, and most importantly grow in personal relationship with Jesus.

…After graduation I worked for a year as a pediatric rehabilitation nurse. While working I discerned that God was calling me for campus mission! In short, Christ loves me and I love Him. There is an important need in college campuses that cry for His love and I am drawn to serve Him with Focus! Many college students miss out on having a personal relationship with Jesus and it is because no one has told them about Jesus and His love for them!

Your Impact

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. The mission: to know Christ Jesus and fulfill His great commission.

I’d be honored to share this mission with you!
