Where I serve

I will be serving at UC Berkeley!

My Story

    I went to Catholic school and mass weekly up until I went to college at The University of Washington(GO DAWGS). I was indifferent about Catholicism and honestly forgot about it. 

    My second year, a friend invited me to a bible study…but with a protestant church. This sparked me to wrestle with the questions: did Jesus even exist? Is Jesus present in the Eucharist? Is the Catholic Church the true Church? 

    Eventually I made my way back to the Catholic Church and quickly got invited to a bible study by a FOCUS missionary. Later, through FOCUS, a friend  invited me into discipleship, where I experienced what it meant not just to know about Christ—but to follow Him, pray, and share the Gospel with others. My faith came alive!

    God transformed my life and I want others to know the joy and freedom that he brings. I want to know students, love them, and walk with them to be fully alive in Christ! Many students go through college without hearing the Gospel – and I’m here to change that
