Kaelyn is a Minnesota native who grew up in the south suburbs. Despite being from Minnesota, she is a dedicated Packer fan (GO PACK GO!), which worked out well for her when she attended UW- Eau Claire. During her time at UW-Eau Claire she became a follower of Christ and in 2012 she graduated with a degree in Kinesiology. After college, the Lord grew a passion in her for the local church, which led her to pursue LDI in 2015. In the Spring of 2016, she was hired to work with the Small Groups Ministry while continuing with the internship. Upon graduation from LDI, Kaelyn joined the staff team full-time in June 2018. Kaelyn and her husband, Kurt, were married in 2019 and welcomed their first child, Addy in 2021. Outside of spending time with the family, she enjoys gardening in their backyard, spending time with close friends or reading a good book.
