Where I serve

After three wonderful years serving as a campus missionary at the University of Central Oklahoma, the Lord has invited me to begin my first year serving as the Team Director at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri! Go Lions! These are my wonderful teammates (from left to right): Isaac, Alex, and Hannah. We are so excited to share the Gospel with the students in Lindenwood and to invite them into lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ.

My Story

I was raised in the Catholic faith by a loving and supportive family. My parents prioritized Sunday Mass each week and my mom taught me to pray from a young age. My faith began to thrive in college when I had a life-changing experience with the Catholic community at the University of Illinois. I became convicted of my identity as a beloved daughter of God and of the need for faithful leaders within the Church. I knew I desired to walk with women as they grew in their relationship with Jesus and to teach them to be joyful witnesses of the Gospel. I was overjoyed to accept a position with FOCUS my senior year of college, and I am so thankful for these past three years on mission.

Your Impact

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. 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 of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
