“I plead with you never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.”

– St. Pope John Paul II

Where I serve

I serve at James Madison University in Virginia! GO DUKES! I am excited to continue my mission at JMU and walking with the women, the Lord has placed in my life. It is so encouraging to see the students at JMU be on fire for the Lord and see where He wants to pour out His graces on new students this upcoming year!

My Story

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to encounter people and bring them closer to Christ. My relationship with Jesus has changed immensely by other missionaries meeting me, in different stages of life. Jesus took His disciples to towns and walked with others in their lives. My mission is to imitate the life of Christ and help people find the joy, love, and mercy that He has shown me! I have seen this fruit in my personal story and now come alive with the students I am walking with.

Your Impact

When committing to FOCUS, we are saying yes to the spiritual and financial reliance of mission partners. Mission partners are part of the mission just as much as the students we encounter on campus. I know each person, I ask for spiritual and financial support will grow in their relationship with the Lord in beautiful ways. If you are interested in supporting or learning more, please send me your contact information and I would love to set up a meeting with you! Remember that you are loved and a beloved son or daughter of Christ!
