Hey there! My name is Madison Michel, and I am a first year FOCUS missionary serving here at UC. I just graduated in May 2020 from Bradley University in Peoria, IL with a double major in Spanish and Philosophy. I am always eager to learn and always thinking...about pretty much anything. Some of the things I find most fascinating to ponder are language, hope, and the idea of metaphor. A favorite prayer of mine is the "Future Not Our Own Prayer" (often prayed by St. Óscar Romero). A fun fact about me is that I worked as a professional scuba diver last summer!
