Coming all the way from the plains of the Midwest, Katelyn graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies. Throughout college, she became more convicted of living out her faith, because of the example and joy she saw in the FOCUS missionaries and friends at the campus' Newman Center. The Lord has made Himself known to her through authentic friendships. She desires to hear others out and be a mediator for the faith, so she decided to become a full-time FOCUS missionary. She enjoys jamming out to 70s & 80s hits, cooking, being in nature, and enjoying a good cup of tea. She can't wait to get to know you all!
