My Story

I grew up in a home where Christ was very present. I went to Catholic school and was involved in youth ministry throughout high school, making mass a priority, and as a senior, leading freshman women through a club “GRACE” which centers around feminine friendships rooted in Christ! I always knew I was made for a relationship with Christ, but looking back, I realize I viewed His love in a more general way instead of understanding how personal and intimate His love truly is for me individually.

In college, my faith slowly took a backseat as I became caught up in a very worldly, secular life. By God’s grace, I met a FOCUS missionary during my first weekend, but it took time for me to fully surrender my life to Christ. After a mission trip before my junior year, I started spending more time at St. Isidores, the Catholic student center at K-State, yet my struggles with mental health still kept me from fully giving my heart to Jesus.

Everything changed for me at SEEK24 in Salt Lake City. During that conference, the Lord radically encountered me in a way I cannot fully explain. For the first time, I truly understood that Jesus did not just want parts of my life. He wanted all of me. He wanted my brokenness, my anxiety, my fears, my wounds, and every area I had tried to hide from Him. In prayer, I experienced the Lord so personally and intimately, and it became so clear to me that I was not too far gone, not beyond redemption, and not forgotten by Him. Instead of condemnation, I encountered overwhelming mercy, healing, and love. It was in that moment I gave everything to our Lord and never looked back.

Praise be to Jesus for He is good and patient. My sweet friends!

Please keep them all in your prayers, that they may continue to see that God is the center of all things good in this life!! God bless.

Your Impact

When I said yes to the call to be a FOCUS missionary, I recognized that I would need to rely on two things: trusting fully in the Lord and the generous support of others. For my success on campus, your support financially and spiritually is essential. I look forward to sharing the fruits borne from this mission with you if you decide to join me on the mission,

To me, the greatest part about my YES to mission is that you, too, have the opportunity to say YES and come alongside me. If you feel called to join my support team, please do not hesitate to reach out so we can set up a time to meet!!!
