We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
I will be serving at Western Washington University! Although I had a strong desire to be closer to home, God has called upon me in my mission to be placed on a campus that will challenge me mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Growing up, my faith journey began at the age of 12 when I joined my local youth ministry. Little did I know that this decision would shape the course of my life. As I grew in my faith, I took on the role of a youth leader during my junior and senior years of high school, guiding and mentoring younger members of our community.
My passion for sharing the love of Christ led me to become a Confirmation Catechist during my first two and a half years in college. My inherent goal was to inspire the candidates to form their own faith in Christ. This experience deepened my understanding of the importance of faith formation and ignited a desire to serve others through ministry.
Attending UC Berkeley presented me with new challenges and opportunities. As the outreach chair, I worked tirelessly to connect with students, inviting them to explore their faith and find a home within our community. It was during this time that I felt a strong calling to dedicate my life to serving others and be truly devoted to my faith while spreading the message of God’s love.
Through prayer, discernment, and the support of my loved ones, I made the decision to become a FOCUS missionary. I am excited to embark on this journey, sharing my faith and walking alongside others as they discover the transformative power of a relationship with Christ.
