We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” – Matthew 28:19
I will be serving at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Go Hoosiers! I look forward to going where the Lord has called me and serving the students on campus. While on campus, I will be serving on a team with six other FOCUS missionaries who will all be striving to live a life of mission focused on the conversion of students.
I grew up in a devout Catholic household, surrounded by the warmth of my family of six. Transitioning to college, like many, I faced challenges regarding my faith. With limited resources and minimal encouragement, I found myself settling into a routine of lukewarm faith, attending Mass on Sundays more out of habit than conviction.
A pivotal turning point came when I embarked on a FOCUS mission trip to Costa Rica during my college years. In those ten days, I experienced the Lord’s power and love in a way that I never had before. Motivated by this newfound faith, I signed up for a second mission trip the following summer in Denver, CO.
Over the course of ten weeks in Denver, I learned invaluable lessons in time management, spiritual growth, and community bonding. It was a summer of profound change, sparking a new internal fire to live a life devoted to God.
As my college years drew to a close, I found myself at a crossroads. While planning to pursue graduate studies in accounting at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville, I realized that my heart was elsewhere. An impactful internship in accounting shed light on the realization that I was blessed with gifts from God that were meant for a different purpose.
Reflecting on my post graduate options, I recognized that becoming a FOCUS missionary would give me the opportunity to capitalize on my God-given talents, while fulfilling my desire to share the word of God with others to live a life centered in Christ.
As a FOCUS Missionary, I rely on the financial and spiritual support from my mission partners. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. Without their generosity, I would not be able to serve the students on campus and help them live a life closer to Christ.
If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share 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.
