BRANDON WORSHAM

Director - brandon@anyfocus.org | blog

Brandon went to UTD as a freshman in 1997 and never left. His dad became a Christian in college while studying chemistry, and then a campus minister, so campus ministry is in his blood. He has 2 degrees in business from UTD and a Masters of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He also worked on the side in business consulting for much of his career. He enjoys reading, racquetball, and ultimate frisbee, but mostly just spending time with friends–especially college students! He has a booming laugh and sometimes gets texts while in the Student Union that say, “I know you’re here somewhere–I heard you laughing.” He’s married to Sarah, who leads FOCUS at UT Arlington. Fittingly, he proposed in front of over 600 students.

Kylie graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas (Whoosh) in 2019, with a B.S. in Business Administration. She previously attended Collin College (Go Cougs) for her freshman and sophomore year, where she was introduced to FOCUS. This ministry made a profound impact, not only on her experience in college but on her life as a disciple. She was able to stay at UTD post-grad for the apprenticeship and had so much fun that she decided it wasn’t time for her to leave yet. Some of Kylie’s other interests include singing, reading, dancing, Disney, and her dog, Moose.

ANDREA SIERRA

She also minored in Visual Arts, mostly as an excuse to spend more time in the beautiful arts building.

LAILAH DUKE

Campus Missionary - lailah.duke@anyfocus.org | blog

Lailah is a San Francisco native who graduated from Howard University with a BFA in Dance. Following graduation in 2015, she worked with Dallas Black Dance Theatre for 6 years as a dancer and dance teacher. In year 5 of her time at DBDT, a co-worker, friend, and FOCUS grad studied the Bible with her, and it was there that her desire to follow Christ emerged. As her new walk with Christ deepened, so did her hunger for being an effective disciple. With that goal in mind, she decided to transition from her dance career to the FOCUS apprenticeship, and expects to learn how to love people and be a trustworthy leader for Christ in the world.
