Hello, friend!  After a fruitful first year at the United States Coast Guard Academy, I stepped away from campus mission for health reasons. I’m very blessed to continue on staff as a Program Director in the Formation Department!

It is my joy to help serve the missionaries on the team responsible for providing structured curriculum for their growth on mission through New Staff Training and ongoing formation, as well as the content they share with their students to foster deeper spiritual intimacy with God!

I was born and raised Catholic and confirmed in the Catholic Church through the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter!

When I went to college, I was at a turning point with my faith: I intellectually believed in it, but I had very little relationship with God.  I was caught up in treating God as a distant, disappointed entity rather than my loving, all knowing Father, and it greatly affected how I lived my life and my faith.

When I attended University of California, Irvine, my life changed.  Because of FOCUS presence and the Catholic community on campus, I met peers who were on fire for Christ, who lived their lives with God at the center of it all.  It was so attractive that, even when I wasn’t in the same place in my faith, I just wanted to surround myself with people who celebrated being God’s children.

At a retreat hosted by the Filipino Catholic community in my junior year, I had a complete 180 experience in adoration, where I finally felt and understood the love of the Father in a way that I could embrace. God showed me who I was as His beloved daughter, and that I didn’t have to be afraid of Him.  After that day, I knew I was going to live for God, no matter what.

In my senior year, God then really pursued me to become a missionary!  In a series of events that made it clear He wanted me to offer Him my life by leading others to Him on the college campus, I gave my ‘yes’ to FOCUS, and praise Him for the ways He’s changed my life for the better since!

My first year on mission at USCGA was definitely a time to learn how God was calling me to receive His graces, and to learn how to pour them into others. Unfortunately, I could not stay in collegiate outreach due to an unforeseen chronic condition, but praise God, I get to remain on mission!

Now, it is my honor to serve the Lord by serving the missionaries. I now am part of the Denver Support Center, assisting the NST formators and directors to offer our missionaries quality, Christ-centered education before they set foot on campus!

The beauty of faith is that it isn’t solitary. Even in an online support role, I’m bringing everyone who supports my work with me. Whether you can join mission with me through prayer or financial support, I’d love to talk to you about how you can build the Kingdom of God with me! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the contacts provided and I’d love to set up a time to talk to you about what being on mission looks like. Thank you for being a part of our faith family, and God bless you!
