ABOUT JADYN
Jadyn was born in Lubbock, Texas, and has called Albuquerque, New Mexico, home for the past 16 years. She grew up as a PCA pastor’s kid and attended the University of New Mexico, where she studied Speech & Hearing Sciences. RUF at UNM began her freshman year, and she became deeply involved from the start. What started as a weekly gathering quickly became a steady, formative presence in her college years — a place where she learned to ask honest questions, build lasting friendships, and experience the consistent grace of Jesus in community. During college, Jadyn also served on staff at her local church, where she grew in her love for walking with people through everyday life. Through both church ministry and RUF, she became convinced that some of the most meaningful work happens through simple faithfulness — showing up, listening well, and being present over time. She loves that RUF embodies that kind of faithful presence on campus.
In the summer of 2025, Jadyn married her husband, Austin, and they are grateful to step into this season of ministry together. Austin has been a steady encouragement in her calling, and together, they hope their home will be a place where students feel comfortable, welcomed, and known. Whether around a dinner table, on a long walk, or over coffee, they care deeply about investing in students in ways that feel personal and lasting.
Jadyn loves to read, cook meals for friends, and find new coffee shops to try. On most days, you can find her with a book nearby, experimenting with a new sourdough recipe, walking her dog George Bailey, or catching up with friends. She’s thankful for the opportunity to serve with RUF and looks forward to seeing how the Lord will continue to work in and through the campus community in Boston.
