After studying English and linguistics, Jolene graduated from the University of Florida with her bachelor's degree in 2017. She and her husband are deeply passionate about seeing students' lives radically changed by learning to walk with God during their college years. She disciples college students because she herself was deeply impacted by the gospel at the BCM as a college student. Jolene enjoys gardening, carbs, and a good whodunit.

// SANTA FE MINISTRY PARTNER //
MEGHAN WILLIAMS
Meghan is an alum from both the University of Florida and the BCM, having graduated in 2018 with a degree in history. She served in various leadership roles with the BCM as a student and through this experience felt called into vocational ministry. She has a passion to see students mobilized to reach the nations through a multiplying movement of laborers for Christ. When she is not hanging out with students you can find Meghan curled up with her two kitties, reading a good book, or playing Bananagrams.
