I am so blessed to be serving at New Mexico State University this year! Go Aggies!

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead students into a deeper relationship with Christ, so that they may experience His unfailing love for them. He has worked so intentionally in my life and has brought me great joy. I want others to experience this joy that he offers so abundantly!

After starting my freshman year at San Francisco State University, I longed for a Catholic community with friends that I could learn from and who called me to be the best version of myself. I was introduced to the Newman community at Arizona State University and transferred soon after. Moving during the pandemic with online classes, I was fully immersed into the Newman community since it was the only place open to meet new people. The priests and students there had a great role in the understanding and strengthening of my relationship with Christ and I am forever grateful.

I was introduced to FOCUS at Northern Arizona University while visiting some friends in Flagstaff. The team there was so welcoming, even though I was not a student at that school. They generously invited me to a retreat that they were hosting that Spring! I admired the devotion that FOCUS had to the conversion of souls on the college campus and have since attended their annual conference, SEEK, twice!

This past year, I felt God calling me to apply to be a missionary through their organization. My conviction only grew and now, I am so happy to be able to bring the Word of God to campus with my team at New Mexico State!
