“Life with Christ is the greatest adventure!”

– Pope John Paul II

Where I serve

I’m excited to serve on campus for this upcoming year at Texas A&M University!

My Story

I grew up in a small town with a large Catholic community. This laid the foundation for my faith as I grew up going to Catholic school and participating in youth events. I learned about the faith in school and by going to Mass, and thought I knew all there was to know about being a faithful Catholic living in the world. I attended Texas A&M University and met some students at St. Mary’s Catholic Center that radiated joy and captivated me. I wanted what they had and spent many years thinking my achievements in school and sports would lead to that joy. I was invited to join a FOCUS Bible Study and learned how Jesus was desiring a deeper relationship with me. That coming to know Him in the Scriptures and prayer would lead me to a life of greater joy and abundance that I was seeking! Throughout my time in college, I have come to discover what Pope John Paul II means when he says that “Life with Christ is the greatest adventure!” In my love for storytelling and film, I had the incredible opportunity to work on the television show of “The Chosen,” which depicts the life of Jesus Christ. It is here that I encountered a deeper love for sharing the Gospel with others and to share His humanity with others. From this experience, He has invited me to walk with college students at such a formative time of their lives to show them the only way to find true joy! I would love to share more with you about my story and the adventure I have been taken on in my deeper conversion with Christ!
