We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
I currently serve on the FOCUS Formation team at the Denver Support Center.
In this role, I help deliver world-class formation to college students and parishioners, both in the U.S. and internationally. My responsibilities include designing content, selecting and supporting speakers, and contributing to the assessment and development of FOCUS’ Formative Enterprises: SEEK, Mission Trips, Retreats, and Summer Projects.
My journey with FOCUS began in 2013 at the SEEK conference in Orlando, Florida. I attended with a group of student leaders from San Diego State University, not knowing what to expect. Up until that point, I had never heard of FOCUS, but what I encountered there changed my life. For the first time, I saw thousands of young Catholics on fire for their faith, deeply desiring to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ. I left that conference with a burning passion in my heart, not only to study and embrace the truths of the Faith more deeply, but also to bring Christ to the world.
During my junior year at SDSU, FOCUS missionaries arrived on campus. I became actively involved in Bible studies and discipleship, and the missionaries quickly became not only mentors but dear friends. Their witness and friendship helped me grow tremendously in my relationship with God. Moved by a desire to participate more fully in the Church’s mission of evangelization and the salvation of souls, I entered the seminary, where I studied for six years.
After seminary, I was blessed to join the FOCUS Retreats Team, where I served for three years. In June 2025, I transitioned to the Formation Team.
It is a profound joy and privilege to use the gifts God has given me, through studies in communication, philosophy, and theology, to proclaim the truth of His love in ways that are beautiful, clear, and powerful.
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. Please consider supporting me in this great mission for the salvation and conversion of college students across the world.
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 this mission with you.
