My name is Kaitlyn Upton, and I am a vet student at Texas A&M pursuing a career in zoological medicine. I am originally from Corpus Christi, Texas. I grew up going to Laity Lodge Youth Camp which is where I found the Lord. Through this camp, I went on my first mission trip to Haiti when I was 16, and it changed my life. After high school, I went to Texas Christian University and graduated in 2017 with a degree in Biology. After graduation, I went on the World Race, an 11-month mission trip to 11 different countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Ukraine, Moldova, and Spain). During my time at TCU, I was introduced to Casas por Cristo through my church and campus ministry. My first build was in 2015 in Guatemala, and I have been building in Acuña, México ever since. After going on the World Race and starting professional school, I felt like the Lord was leading me to apply for the Casas internship. I had first heard about it in 2015, but it was never the right time. I absolutely love this ministry, and I am excited to spend the summer serving as well as practicing my Spanish!

Hello! My Name is Carla Walquist, and I am from Little Falls, Minnesota. I currently attend the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota. My first trip with Casas was in January through my school and a local church. It was the first trip I had ever taken that was service-based. It was such an amazing experience, and I loved every bit of it. I have since decided to step out of my comfort zone and intern with Casas. I couldn’t be more excited to continue touching lives and serving others with this amazing ministry. I cannot wait to see what Christ does in my life during this experience.

Hi! My name is Liz Schrader. I’m from St. Louis, Missouri, and I am a member of Webster Gardens Lutheran Church. I just finished my freshman year of college at Mizzou, where I am majoring in Journalism and Spanish. I enjoy exercising, taking photos, spending time outside, and eating fruit. I wasn’t very passionate about my faith when I was younger, but then I went on my first Casas trip to Acuña, México with my church when I was 14. God changed my life on that trip, and I became a lot more connected to Him and to my faith. After that, I went on three more trips with Casas, and I loved each one just as much. When God gave me the opportunity to be an intern, I was so excited! I can’t wait to see what God does through me and how He grows me this summer.

Hello. My name is Jennifer Dobyns, but everyone calls me Jen. I’ve had the opportunity to go with my church to Juarez 10 times to build houses for families, and I’m excited to see what God will do this summer with our intern group. Returning every year to Juarez has always caused my faith to grow, and I feel passionate about communicating with the communities we’ll be serving. I’ve studied at the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs for a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a minor in Game Development, and I’ve also created games using the Unity 3D Engine.
