My Story

Growing up I did not have a relationship with God or know who He was, but I knew I was searching for something more to the life I was living.

I was introduced to the Catholic faith through my freshman roommate while attending Grand Valley State University in Michigan. She brought me to mass and lovingly shared her faith with me. I was hesitant at first, but the more I learned how to pray and began to attend mass and adoration, the more I discovered God’s love for me and grew to love Him back. This newfound love for God inspired me to get involved at my church. I signed up for a FOCUS bible study, joined the campus ministry leadership team and began striving to lead a Christ-centered life.

Through my involvement and being accompanied by a FOCUS missionary, I discovered God’s call for me to lead others in the way I was led. Jesus truly changed everything for me. He gave me a new life filled with joy, love, and purpose and my greatest hope is that the students I will meet will come to know Him too.
