Where I serve

I’ve been called to serve FOCUS at the Denver Support Center out in Denver Colorado. Here I have the opportunity to share the Good News with thousands of college students through the SEEK Conference. By working on the Production Team I will be able to use my natural God given talents to help grow the Kingdom of God.

My Story

While I was in college at the University of Pennsylvania I had a true encounter with Christ through my genuine, authentic friendships with FOCUS missionaries on my campus. They showed me that no matter what Christ desired a relationship with me.  Christ pursued me and never stopped knocking at the door of my heart.  I realized that my Catholic faith was not just part of my life, but contained the source of life and true path to my eternal joy.  As He has become the center of my life, I have never experienced greater longing to grow deeper in relationship with Him and to share His love and mercy with others.

While I was on a pilgrimage with FOCUS one year post grad, I heard the Lord calling me into mission as a full time missionary. I decided to answer the call and spread His word to young people on campuses who now more than ever need His love as their life raft.  It is my mission to bring Him to them as He was brought to me so that they may experience His plan for them of hope and a future. 

Your Impact

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you. I’d be honored to share this mission with you! You can get in contact with me at [email protected]
