We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
God has called me to serve college students with the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. I have served at the University of Rochester in New York, the University of Cincinnati, Bowling Green State University, and will be going into my seventh year as Team Director at Western Kentucky University! I’m grateful and amazed that the Lord has called me to this beautiful mission!
As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel. I look to Jesus own example to find the best method of reaching the world.
Jesus has impacted my life in ways that I cannot describe. College is such a crucial time in our lives, and it’s up to us whether or not to practice our Catholic faith in those four years. I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University, a non-FOCUS school but it was through meeting missionaries that my friend and I started a FOCUS bible study at our Newman Center, attended conferences, and went on mission trips! In 2016, I had an incredible opportunity to go on a mission trip for a month and to spread God’s endless love to the most generous, and loving people in Tanzania, Africa! My relationship with God is forever growing each day, I am so in love with Christ, He has poured His love into my soul, and its a burning flame that will never burn out!
“God loves those who find joy in giving.” St. Pope John Paul II
When I joined FOCUS, I also joined myself to Christ in a radical way by committing to fully fundraise my support and rely on His goodness even more. God has blessed me immensely with the most incredible Mission Partners who, quite literally, go on mission with me through their support.
I cannot do it without the generosity of people like you! If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. *** If you feel called to give, please consider joining my monthly support team. The regularity of the gifts versus a one-time gift greatly assists in budgeting. FOCUS is a 501(c)3 and all donations are tax deductible and can be used towards your 10% tithe. You will receive a summary of your donations at the end of the year to be used when filling out your taxes. If you have any questions, prayer intentions, or thoughts about FOCUS, please contact: [email protected] or (859) 750-1385

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.
