I work remotely from Little Rock, Arkansas for the DSC!

I first encountered FOCUS during my time at the University of Minnesota Duluth through the Newman Center. By my junior year, I found myself searching for direction. I had an existing faith, but I lacked the tools and guidance to fully live out the Gospel. I knew about Christ—but I didn’t yet know how to walk with Him daily.

That’s when I met Stephanie, a new FOCUS missionary. Her decision to invest in me changed everything. Through her mentorship, I came to know Jesus Christ in a deeply personal way and began to understand what it meant to live His Great Commission.

After graduating, I spent a year in mission formation with Life Teen in North Georgia—where I also met my husband, Thomas! Later, after we moved to Little Rock and I became a stay-at-home mom with our firstborn, I found myself thinking about FOCUS again. I inquired about job opportunities and, in a beautiful full-circle moment, found myself called to serve this mission professionally.

I’m honored to support the work of FOCUS by managing projects in Mission Development. The framework of missionary discipleship that I received as a college student continues to shape how I live, parent, and serve. Let’s set the world on fire for Christ—and become who God made us to be!
