Missy became involved with the pro-life movement when she was just 14, when she first began volunteering with Rock for Life. She became instantly passionate about abortion. As an Hispanic woman, she saw the devastation of abortion in the Latin community and decided to take a stand. She earned a Certificate of Ministry from Hillsong Leadership College in Sydney, Australia and attended the University of Southern Mississippi, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s in Political Science and a minor in Spanish. Since joining Students for Life as the National High School Program Coordinator, Missy has helped more than double student groups in public and private high schools across the nation. She launched the first Thaddeus Stevens Fellowship for high school leaders, hosted the first High School Leadership Summit at the 2014 National Conference, and helped create resources for high school. She is certified with the National Abstinence Education Associates as a Sexual Risk Avoidance educator and has incorporated the abstinence message into the high school program. Missy has traveled the country, working with almost 300 high school groups, training and equipping them to be revolutionary pro-life activists. Missy played a vital part in planning strike forces this past year in Austin, TX and Albuquerque, NM, surrounding the passing of pro-life legislation. She is SFLA’s official spokesperson on the ground and has been featured in the New York Times, as well as many other media outlets.
