Meet The Missionaries
Howdy! I am humbled to serve my second year as a FOCUS missionary at Ramapo College. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2008 after studying History, Geography and Aggie Football. I played lacrosse for A&M and took that passion for sports with me to Colorado upon graduation. It was while working at Mines and DU that I came upon FOCUS. For two years, I saw the contagious joy of young men and women who desired to bring others to Christ and I wanted to do the same. Besides introducing the people of Ramapo to Jesus Christ and His Church and country music, I love running, baking healthy-ish deserts, cooking, photography, and swing dancing. Looking forward to meeting even more of the wonderful people of Ramapo. You can reach me at aamore@focusonline.org
This is my second year serving at Ramapo College. I am excited to have stayed here and look forward to what the Spring semester has in store for us.
Born in Guatemala, I was adopted and moved to Massachusetts (Go Pats!!). Raised in MA most of my childhood I relocated in Florida as a freshmen in high school. My parents are devoute Catholics who raised me to be the same. After high school I entered seminary where I actively discerned the priesthood. After a year of discernment I decided to go back home and work. Later I decided to enroll at the University of North Florida. This is where I met FOCUS for the first time and where I was challenged to live out and share my faith with others. After receiving a degree in Communications, Advertising I decided I wanted to work with FOCUS and help college students live out their Catholic faith and come to know the person of Jesus Christ. I am humbled to be working at Ramapo and I look forward to meeting you on campus. If you have any further questions for me you can contact me at mmartinez@focusonline.org

I graduated from UConn last May with a degree in biomedical engineering. After watching my peers struggle to find meaning and purpose in their lives while searching for love and happiness in all the wrong places, I knew that Jesus was calling me to serve Him full-time as a FOCUS missionary, and I am so excited to be serving at Ramapo College!
I’m from the great state of New Hampshire, and I love reading, baking, coloring, and doing arts and crafts. You can contact me at dlapointe@focusonline.org.
I graduated from Minnesota State Mankato in May of 2011 and am so excited and blessed to be working on campus at Ramapo! I graduated with a degree in Automotive Engineering Technology which as you can imagine is a fairly secular field so the morals, values, and faith instilled by my parents were tested in my college years. Eventually I realized that there is something more to life than the way I was living and ultimately found my true joy in Christ! There is so much in this world that pulls us from the relationship our loving God wants to have with us but through FOCUS I was given such a great support system that helped me to understand my faith and make it my own! I am here to be that resource and source of encouragement! You can reach me at kshutrop@focusonline.org
