About Me: I grew up in a small town in Frederick, MD. After graduating from the University of Maryland in May 2022 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, the Lord called me to serve Him as a missionary with the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. I spent two years in Boston serving students on college campuses and loved getting to share the Gospel to the young people of the church!

 
After my husband and I moved to Northern VA in June 2024, I knew that the Lord was still asking me to serve in a ministry role. I was so excited to be able to find a position serving teens and young adults with the Basilica of Saint Mary! I treasure the gift of being able to share the ways in which the Lord has worked in my own life and encouraging others to pursue a personal relationship with Him as well!
