Upon entering college, I was equipped with a solid Catholic foundation. I knew a lot about Jesus, but I had plenty of other things to learn about in this new world of freedom. So I dove into the life of being a student-athlete.
After experiencing life as a collegiate student-athlete for a whole year, a FOCUS missionary named Maegan Martin walked onto campus and right into my life.

After a year of being unconditionally loved by Maegan, I finally took off my mask and shared my whole heart with her. I desired to put two feet in to my relationship with Jesus. I desired not only to know more about Jesus, but I also desired to get to know Him. However, I needed Maegan to hold me accountable in doing so.

Although being a FOCUS missionary will fulfill the desires of my heart and give my life so much meaning, it comes with a great cost. I have committed the next two years of my life to this mission. I have no control over where I will be placed. I have to fundraise 100% of my salary, and I have to go on a dating-fast for a year. It will be difficult for me to leave my comfort zone of friends, family, and home, but I am absolutely confident that it will be worth it.
