Where I serve

3052 I have the pleasure of serving Belmont University and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee alongside Kyle, Kate, Madison and Andrew. From 2024-2026, I served at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida.

My Story

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. For a long time, my faith was largely action-oriented—centered on attending Mass and praying regularly but lacking a deep personal connection with Christ. However, when I started college at the University of South Carolina (GO COCKS!) in 2020, my faith journey took a significant turn. It was through FOCUS and through USC’s campus ministry that I developed a deeper love and appreciation for my faith.

With the invitation of a friend, I began attending a bible study regularly. It quickly became the highlight of my week. These gatherings not only deepened my understanding of scripture but also led to meaningful friendships rooted in a shared love of the faith.

Through FOCUS, I was also afforded the opportunity to attend mission trips in Ecuador (see picture) and in Brazil, where I was immersed in cultures vastly different from my own. In both places, I witnessed firsthand the universality of God’s love for all of His children. These experiences further ignited a passion within me to grow spiritually and to share the Gospel with others.

As a missionary serving in South Florida, I was able to experience God’s providence for my team, my students, and me. It’s such an incredible gift to witness firsthand the transformation that takes place in the lives and hearts of the students who so desire to know God and serve him more intentionally.

Now, as a missionary with FOCUS in Nashville, I am so excited to share all that God (and you!) have given to me and this mission with the students I’ll get to encounter.

Your Impact

This mission is not mine alone. It is through my dependance on the spiritual and financial support of my mission partners (this could be you!), that I can provide for my students! I’m asking you to join my mission in bringing university students into a life with Christ at the center.
