I am eager to be serving at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Go Bulldogs!!

I came to know Christ not in a single moment, but through His gentle and patient pursuit of my heart over the course of my life. After leaving behind my family and all I had known for college, I felt an emptiness that led me searching. I knew there was something more. That was until an encounter with a FOCUS missionary at a coffee shop changed everything. Over the next three years, the Lord steadily opened my heart in ways I never imagined, showing me His abundant love even in my stubbornness.

I first felt the call to mission while leading Bible studies and witnessing God move in others’ lives. It lit a fire in me to create, lead, and serve more deeply. Even as a student, I longed to do mission work all day, every day. I feel most alive when I’m walking with others in their faith and helping them grow closer to Jesus. The Lord showed me that what I loved doing as a student was already the heart of mission work. Now, being a full-time missionary, I trust God will use me to reach others just like He reached me.

One campus. One soul at a time. Let’s change lives together.
