I will be serving as a first-year missionary at Middle Tennessee State University! MTSU is a medium sized school with almost 20,000 enrolled students. It is located just outside of Nashville and has a large commuter population. I am very excited to meet the students and get to know about campus life there.

It is hard to say exactly when in college I first met the FOCUS missionaries at UofL, but I always remember the female missionaries having a deep impact on me. I knew that in some way I wanted to live my life like them. My sophomore year I had a deep encounter with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and I knew I wanted to get more involved them. I got confirmed that Easter and since then I have always wanted to live out mission in some way. This past year as I was figuring out what I wanted to do after college I knew I couldn’t rule out FOCUS as an option. Now that I know I will be a missionary next year I am exciting to meet women in the same way that I was met in college and help them to more deeply know Him.
