I’m a 1st year missionary from Tulsa, OK.
What brought you to Christ in the City?
The Lord has given me a desire to imitate the Gospels through radical service to the poor. Due to my freedom and availability as a young adult, I thought there was no better time to make a gift of myself in this way. With the invitation to be a full-time missionary, I see Christ in the City as the start of a new chapter in my life.
What are you looking forward to?
I am most excited to encounter Christ in the poor and to share His love with them. While this next year will be an adventure, I look forward to living a simple, structured life devoted to the love of God and neighbor. I expect evangelization and community life to be difficult but rewarding, and I welcome these new experiences. I hope to take advantage of this program’s formation opportunities and, through them, grow into more of who God is calling me to be.
A bit about me
I come from a large family, whom I love very much. In 2021, I graduated from Oklahoma State University with degrees in philosophy, psychology, and Spanish. I am moving to Denver from Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I have lived and worked for almost three years as a health teacher and then as a financial paraplanner. My favorite activities include singing and playing guitar, playing chess, and fly fishing. St. Francis of Assisi is my confirmation saint, and I have a huge sweet tooth!
