We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
God has called me to serve the students of Bemidji State University in the beautiful state of Minnesota! You’ll typically find me taking walks around campus, sharing a meal with friends, or hanging out at a local coffee shop!
Growing up in a Catholic family I always knew the importance of going to Sunday mass, praying before meals, and thanking God at the end of each day. I am so thankful for this base. It was because of my loving parents and 5 younger siblings that I knew I wanted to carry on in pursuing the faith when I moved away to college. When I made my move as a college freshman, I was overwhelmed by the number of different choices I could make. I could choose what I ate, where I spent my time, and if I was going to go to mass. Lucky for me, my sweet mother brought me to our Newman Center on freshman move in day. It was there that I met a group of FOCUS missionaries that forever changed my life. It was through their witness that I grew in my understanding of what authentic friendship was, learned more about my Catholic faith, and fell deeply in love with Jesus. Now I am so thankful to be able to serve as a FOCUS missionary myself! As a missionary I hope to spread the love and joy of Jesus to the students I encounter. It is because of His love that I have found purpose in my life and I want everyone to know that this same love is for them as well!
When I answered yes to the call of becoming a FOCUS missionary I also said yes to relying on financial and spiritual support from mission partners. It is because of the generosity of these mission partners that I am able to continue serving college students full time as a missionary. 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 in this mission with you.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
