“The reason for our existence is to quench the thirst of Jesus. When he asked for water, the soldier gave him vinegar to drink—but his thirst was for love, for souls, for you and me.”
St. Theresa of Calcutta

My Story

Growing up, I received an excellent formation through Catholic education and developed a deep appreciation for my faith. I understood my identity as a daughter of God very early in life. However, when I entered college at Texas Tech University, I quickly lost sight of this truth. I was unprepared for the challenges that came with Greek life, academics, and the college party culture. By the end of my freshman year, I felt pretty lost, and it got to a point where I knew there had to be more out there.

I tried various things—different churches, Bible studies, and self-improvement efforts—but everything left me feeling restless, like something was missing. And something was missing: Jesus Christ in the Eucharist! In the spring of my sophomore year, I felt a radical call from Christ in the Eucharist to return to His church and find rest in Him.

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” -St. Augustine

Leaving behind my past was not easy, but I continued to lean on the sacraments for God’s grace to get me through it. While I am in no way perfect, I strive towards heaven every day and am trying to bring as many people along with me. I am excited to be Jesus’ missionary this year and can’t wait to see all that He has in store for me on this next adventure. Let’s be saints!

Your Impact

Sharing the love of Jesus Christ with college students would not be possible without both the spiritual and financial support from mission partners.  This is where you come in!  As a missionary, I fully fundraise my entire mission budget and need the support of generous partners like you to perform my work.  This gives me the freedom to be radically available to the students on campus in need of my care. If you are interested in joining me on mission through your support or even hearing more about this mission, I would love to meet up with you in person or talk with you over the phone.  Please, do not be afraid to reach out to me via phone or email and we can get to know each other.  It would be an honor and a joy to share in this mission with you! God Bless!
