I serve as the Donor Communications Project Manager for the FOCUS Mission Foundation. After being away from FOCUS for the last two years, I am very happy to be back serving this mission once again, with a special emphasis on caring for our benefactors and our philanthropy team.

My journey with FOCUS began when I was a college student at the University of Florida. I experienced a deeper conversion at SEEK2015, and from then on I was completely sold out for the Gospel. A missionary invested deeply in me, and I knew I wanted to do the same for others. It was a great blessing to serve as a campus missionary at the University of Pittsburgh for two years, and then serve on staff as a project manager for the FOCUS Parish team for three years.

Then the day finally came when I left FOCUS. I received a new opportunity to help start a Catholic classical liberal arts school in my hometown. It was hard work, as start-ups are, but very rewarding. I supported their fundraising efforts, their admissions process, marketing and communications, and daily operations. This role stretched me in new ways that I had not experienced in FOCUS. I am grateful for all that I learned, much of which led me back to FOCUS.

Now being back at FOCUS and working in Donor Communications, I am looking forward to using my gifts and talents to serve the mission of FOCUS and make our benefactors feel seen and known.

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to serve on mission with me. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve Our Lord. If you are interested in joining in this mission, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. You can also contact me at [email protected]. I’d be honored to have you fulfill the Great Commission with me!
