I serve with FOCUS Share, where I help coordinate opportunities for FOCUS priests to visit parishes across the country and share the mission of FOCUS. Through these parish visits, we invite Catholics to participate in the work of evangelization and support the formation of missionary disciples who are bringing Christ to college campuses and beyond.

I grew up as the youngest of five girls, and because there was a large age gap between me and my sisters, the Lord became my closest companion from my earliest memories. For 17 years I battled Lyme disease, a journey that brought tremendous suffering but also drew me into a deeper relationship with Christ. Through those years, He taught me what truly matters and showed me that our greatest purpose is to know Him and help others encounter His love. That is why I joined FOCUS. I believe the mission of walking with people in authentic friendship, helping them encounter Jesus, and forming them into disciples is one of the most effective ways to renew the Church and reach a world that is searching for hope.

Now more than ever, young people are longing for meaning, purpose, and authentic relationships. FOCUS missionaries meet students where they are and accompany them toward Christ, one person at a time. This mission is only possible because of faithful mission partners who share in the work of evangelization. Their support is not simply funding a missionary—it is helping reach souls, transform lives, and raise up disciples who will go on to impact countless others. I invite you to join me in this mission of bringing hope to those who may have lost it, because with Christ all things are possible.
