God has invited us to serve at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia! Go Dawgs!  My job as a full-time missionary will be to lead bible studies, discipleship, retreats, and live the abundant life with my team and students! I am looking forward to this year and all that the Lord has in store to lead students into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ through the Sacraments.

The Lord began writing my story in Sugar Land, Texas where I️ was born to a wonderful family. They made it clear that faith was and should always be a part of my life, but it wasn’t until college until I️ understood what it meant to be a true disciple of Jesus, in a deep relationship with Him.

Going into college, I️ quickly bought into the exciting things around me, placing my identity in my campus involvement, sorority life, and academic success. While I️ claimed faith remained a priority, I️ was so focused on other accomplishments that I️ neglected to truly live a Christian life. I️ poured into fleeting pleasures of the world and quickly became isolated and lonely, searching for something to fill the void in my heart.

My freshman year at Texas A&M, I️ was encountered by a student who showed me what it meant to live fully. I️ was invited into a community of women who lived in a way I️ had never seen before; they appeared fully alive, joyful, and vibrant. I️ was drawn to them. I️ wanted to be like them. As we grew in friendship, I was invited to St. Mary’s Catholic Center where I️ discovered the beauty and love of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. I️ then fell in love with Jesus in a new way as I️ devoted myself to the sacraments and daily prayer. I️ later learned this void I️ was desperate to fill could only be filled by the infinite love of God and not by the finite pleasures of the world. The Lord placed these women in my life to accompany me in my journey, teaching me that I️ am made good and that I️ am a beautiful daughter of Jesus Christ. This same year I️ met Henry who continued to show me the love of Christ each day. Throughout our time together in college, we experienced the Lord’s grace through the Sacraments, continued to grow in virtue, and found great joy in mission through leading bible studies and discipleship. Fast forward to now, we are engaged and getting married at the end of July of 2025!

When I said yes to FOCUS, I also said yes to fully relying on God to provide for me both financially and spiritually. Through the generosity and sacrifice of my mission partners, I am able to serve on campus in order to fulfill God’s call to the Great Commission! If you are interested in hearing more about my story, my mission, and about FOCUS, please reach out. It would be a gift to invite you into my mission!
