“Mission is my passion, and my goal is to invite every student on campus to discover the fullness of life in Christ. As Director of Student Mission I accompany and guide our students as they journey to mature Christian faith. I also have the privilege of working with our student leaders as they discern their gifts, their vocation, and how they are called to serve the Church as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.”
