Staff who are ready to listen.

Ben is a UGA alumnus who came to faith in Jesus during the later part of college, then went on to graduate school, an RUF internship, and seminary. After serving RUF students at New Mexico State, he returned to Athens with his wife, Anna, and their four children. He would love to hear your story and help you find a place to connect.

Caysie grew up in Omaha and studied public relations and Spanish at the University of Kentucky. She came to Athens as an RUF intern in 2019 and joined the campus staff in 2021. She loves walking alongside UGA students as they explore faith and grow toward Jesus.

Ginger is a Florida native and University of South Florida graduate in biological health science and nutrition. RUF showed her the beauty of Christ-centered community and deepened her love for Scripture. She also loves backpacking, coffee shops, pickleball, and baking chocolate chip cookies.

Owen grew up in Greenville, North Carolina, and studied business marketing at East Carolina University. RUF gave him a community where he was met with honesty and grace during college. He enjoys tennis, working out, and watching sports, and is eager to share that same welcome with students in Athens.

Lucy is from San Antonio and graduated from the University of Arkansas with degrees in international business and Spanish. Her own RUF community helped her know God’s character more deeply, and she is excited to walk with students at UGA. Outside of ministry, she enjoys backpacking, dancing, chess, cello, and sports.

Grace grew up across the United States in a military family and found RUF as a student at Auburn University. After three years as a UGA RUF intern, she served her church in children’s ministry and administration before joining RUF’s intern-support team in 2025. She and her husband, Parker, live in Athens, and she enjoys reading and being outdoors.
