I serve within our Staff Care team, dedicated to supporting all FOCUS missionary staff by providing care, guidance, and resources to help us all thrive both personally and in our mission: “to know Christ Jesus and fulfill His great commission!” As the mission expands, the need for effective, people-centered support becomes increasingly important to enable staff to flourish and serve freely by leading Bible studies, sharing the Gospel, and pursuing authentic friendship with students and parishioners that lead to encounters with Christ.

I am from the great state of Minnesota and grew up alongside faithful Catholics who showed me what it meant to walk in discipleship with Jesus and care for those in physical or spiritual need.

Before becoming a missionary, I studied vocal music performance and theology at Benedictine College and enjoyed a year of teaching music. I have served as a missionary with FOCUS at the United States Naval Academy (beat Army), the Internal Communications team, and now the Staff Care team. My heart continues to be transformed and in awe of what God has accomplished through this apostolate! I desire to invite and accompany others to experience the saving message of the Gospel and abundant life with Christ’s Bride, the Church.

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to join me on this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve in this apostolate. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
