My Story

During my years at Texas Tech University, the Lord tenderly rewrote the story of my heart. Through the hands and hearts of student leaders and FOCUS missionaries, He led me from familiarity into a wild, breathtaking intimacy with Him. Raised on a dairy farm in Riverdale, California, I arrived on campus carrying both roots and restlessness, unaware that God would meet me in the middle of both.

As a freshman in 2020, I stepped into Greek life, full of dreams and desire for belonging. Yet I found myself living a divided life. I kept my faith tucked away, separate from sorority events and social rhythms. But everything changed when I felt the gentle yet firm tug of the Holy Spirit at my Catholic student center. It led me to say yes to a FOCUS mission trip to Lima, Peru. This was a simple invitation that cracked open the door to a life fully surrendered.

In Peru, something eternal blossomed. I learned to pray not just with words, but with my whole being. I encountered the sacraments as rivers of grace. I served alongside the poor and saw Christ in their faces. And for the very first time, I placed God at the center, no longer an accessory to my life, but its heartbeat. That moment was the beginning of everything.

When I returned to campus, I carried this flame with me. I wove it into the fabric of my sorority, my classes, my study abroad experiences. Everywhere I went, I wanted others to meet the God who had so tenderly met me. As senior year dawned, a missionary invited me to lead a Bible study for freshman Greek women. I said yes, unsure of what it would require, but God, once again, surprised me. Those young women became sisters in Christ, companions on the journey, and witnesses of transformation. Together, we chased after a love that never fails.

It was through that season of leading and loving that I gave God my deepest fiat, my total yes… Yes to becoming a FOCUS missionary. Yes to walking with students as they uncover the radiance of their identity in Christ. Yes to living a life poured out in joy, in purpose, in communion.

To serve Him now is a delight. I am endlessly grateful to offer my life in return for all He has given. And as I go forth, I carry a heart in bloom. It is rooted in the soil of Riverdale, watered by grace, and reaching ever upward toward heaven.

Your Impact

When I answered the Lord’s call to serve as a FOCUS missionary, I stepped into a life of trust, relying on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to make this work possible. I’ve been deeply blessed by those who have chosen to journey with me, sharing in the mission of bringing Christ to college students. Every conversation, Bible study, and encounter with Jesus is not mine alone, but the fruit of a shared calling. If you feel drawn to partner with me in this mission, I’d be honored to connect; just let me know the best way to reach you. Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and open heart!
