I have served my past two years on mission at the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

Now, I will be entering my fourth year with FOCUS as the Team Director of the University of Southern Mississippi! I am excited to lead the team of missionaries as we participate in the Great Commission to share the Gospel across Southern Miss’s campus! To the Top!!

The University of Southern Mississippi is home to about 13,000 undergraduate students all of which the Lord is deeply desiring relationship with. My team is excited to continue laboring in the Lord’s vineyard for the souls at Southern Miss to know God.

Team Southern Miss 2026-2027: Trinity, Jordan, Jack, and I!

Throughout my life, the Lord has patiently and faithfully pursued my heart. I was blessed to grow up in a loving Catholic family, where I first learned about His goodness and was given many opportunities to grow in my faith. From a young age, He placed a deep desire on my heart to become a doctor, and I dreamed of spending my life caring for others and helping to heal their physical suffering.

The Lord led me to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (Go Blazers!), where I planned to prepare for medical school. While I received an excellent education, He had something much greater in store for me. Through the gift of authentic Catholic community, I encountered the beauty of the Church in a new way and discovered what it truly means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I experienced the joy and freedom that come from placing Him at the center of my life and witnessed firsthand how the truth of the Gospel transforms hearts.

During my senior year, I was involved in a serious car accident that unexpectedly changed the course of my plans and left me uncertain about what was ahead. After graduation, I began working full-time on the Hematology Oncology Specialty Unit at UAB while preparing to apply to medical school. Although I loved caring for my patients and accompanying them in difficult moments, I sensed that the Lord was inviting me to trust Him more deeply and surrender my own expectations for the future.

That invitation became undeniable when I traveled to Argentina on a medical mission trip with FOCUS. While serving and praying with the people I encountered there, the Lord revealed a desire that had been quietly stirring in my heart for years. He showed me that while He had first given me a love for caring for bodies, He was now inviting me to help care for souls.

As I brought the possibility of becoming a FOCUS missionary to prayer, I was struck by a profound peace unlike anything I had experienced before. In His kindness, the Lord made it clear that His plans were far more beautiful than my own. He was inviting me to spend my life introducing others to the One who had transformed mine.

Since saying yes to this call, I have had the incredible privilege of accompanying college students as they encounter the love of Jesus Christ and discover their identity as beloved daughters of God. Seeing lives transformed by the Gospel has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

The Lord’s faithfulness has continued to surprise me. He has now entrusted me with the role of Team Director, giving me the opportunity not only to invest in students, but also to lead and accompany fellow missionaries in their own mission. It has been a tremendous gift to walk alongside my teammates, helping them grow in holiness and confidence as they pour themselves out for others. Through this responsibility, the Lord has continued to teach me that leadership is ultimately an invitation to love, serve, and lay down one’s life for others.

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. By participating in Mission Partner Development, I am blessed with the opportunity to participate in the Great Commission not just at the University of Southern Miss, but with you! As a mission partner, I get to walk alongside you and your journey as a disciple of Christ! I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus! If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you!

Let’s go make disciples of all nations!
