My Story

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”John 10:10

I am so blessed to have grown up in a Catholic home. I knew going into college that my faith was important to me, but I didn’t think having a relationship with Jesus in college was even possible. I was incredibly blessed when a friend shared the Gospel with me—and shared her life with me as well. She showed me that living for Jesus is not only possible, but it’s the only way to experience a truly rich and satisfying life.

Slowly, I began surrendering my worldly desires and letting God take control, allowing Him to have providence over my life. During my junior year, a FOCUS missionary at Mizzou invited me to join her Bible study. She taught me how joyful and peaceful it is to live fully for Christ and His Church, and how life-giving it is to share Christ’s love and light with others.

Choosing to follow Jesus in college was the best decision I have ever made—and it all started because someone shared the Gospel and showed me how to live for Him for a lifetime. Now, I am so excited and blessed to have the opportunity to do the same for others by serving in full-time ministry on a college campus.

Your Impact

As a FOCUS missionary, I have the incredible privilege of relying on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners who make it possible for me to serve full-time. This partnership allows me to be fully present on campus, accompanying students as they encounter Jesus and grow in discipleship.

If you feel called to join me in this mission—through prayer, financial support, or simply learning more—I would be honored to connect with you. I’d love to set up a time to share how God is moving through this ministry and how you can be a part of it.

Please let me know the best way to reach you. Know that I am already praying for you, and it would be a true blessing to walk together in sharing the Gospel.
