Hey y’all!
The lone Tiger in a sea of Longhorns!! I have been blessed with an amazing family and phenomenal friends who support, love, and challenge me daily. I also have 2 godsons, Jacob (8) and Benjamin (6) who I absolutely adore! They encourage me through their zest for life, love, and honesty.
My dad, stepmom Dee, and I.
My mom, brother Ryan, and I.
I love the outdoors (hiking, fishing, camping, horseback riding, you name it!!) and am mesmerized by the night sky. It is where I truly see the Lord. I spent a semester in Perth, Australia, and I’m IN LOVE with the country! I hope to return someday, if only for a visit.

I am a very relational person. I’ll chose one-on-one time building a deeper friendship over hanging with a big group any day. Though I can be serious, I have a goofy side and love finding the joy in life! I have a heart for missions and serving others. I have spent the last 3 winter breaks serving in Harmons, Jamaica which is where I truly fell in love with the Lord and His children. God opened my eyes not only to the great need in the world, but also to the depth of His love for us and desire for us to share it with others. Therefore, I am so blessed and excited to be able to serve in Africa with y’all! I can’t wait to get to know each of you better in the following months!
Welcome to the team Kathleen! If you are going to be in Dallas at all this summer would you like to meet? I’ll be in Austin for the majority of the time and possibly Dallas for some mission work. Let me know when you can! Oh and what part of Dallas are you from?
Hi Katie!! Thanks, I’m so excited to join the team, and I would LOVE to meet you this summer!! I will be in Dallas the majority of the time (Lake Highlands Area, but I am from Dallas Dallas, not one of the suburbs) but I will be coming to Austin a lot! I’m the maid of honor for my best friend’s wedding and she lives in Austin. Shoot me an e-mail, can’t wait to meet you!!
Hey Katie! I look forward to meeting a fellow texan in Atlanta. I’m actually from Austin, but I’ll be going to Texas A&M after this next year. Do you know which country in Africa you plan on going to? I hope to be going to Uganda. Sorry, but my blog isn’t up yet (I got accepted and the packet and all that this past thursday…it’s a pretty cool/crazy story). Anyway, I hope all is well and I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta! God Bless.
Sorry, Kathleen and Katie! That post was meant for Kathleen. I read yours and Katie’s introductions and was just really excited about two texans! Sorry for the mix up

I can’t say how wonderful it was to meet you! Your fun side and awesome chipmunk singing skills still has me laughing! Let me say that your mother’s heart, wisdom, faith, love, beautiful smile, and sweet spirit has completely overwhelmed me. The beauty of your abandonment before your peers and God, your own simple rawness and “realness” on your journey with Him has blessed and challenged my heart more than you can imagine. I am so looking for to getting to know you better in Mexico and I honestly can’t wait! Blessings and you are always in my prayers…Love you
