Meet Our Team
Kelly Jackson
Kelly was raised in the small south Georgia town of Thomasville just up the road from Tallahassee. He met his wife, Caroline, at the University of Georgia where God used the ministries of RUF and Redeemer PCA to impact them both deeply. They loved each other and RUF so much that they decided to get married and co-intern with RUF (at Mississippi State). And in 2013, the Jacksons left Starkville and moved to Jackson, MS, where Kelly attended Reformed Theological Seminary and continued working with college students while on staff at First Presbyterian Church. He graduated from there in 2017, and the Jacksons have called Tallahassee home ever since! Their kids are Nora (11), Johnny (9), Annelise (6), Isaac (4), and Maggie (4). They love the Seminoles of FSU, the great capital city of Tallahassee, and the laid back state of Florida. They also want you to visit and then move to Tallahassee to be a part of what God is doing there!
Victoria Wallenstein
Victoria was born and raised in Northern California and attended UC Berkeley. Through the ministry of RUF at Berkeley, Victoria heard the gospel for the first time and came to know Jesus. After moving to Tallahassee, Florida to work for RUF at FSU, she met her husband, good ol' Florida boy Vaughn, proving the power of the gospel to overcome all sorts of differences. In Summer of 2021, she began working as Campus Staff and loves calling Tallahassee home. Victoria loves a good dance floor, baking bread and ridiculous reality TV.
Charlie Cutts
Charlie is an Eagle Scout from Bartlesville, OK. He has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and applied physics. He loves his Mom and Dad and younger brother. He loves to go hiking, camping, and especially fishing.
Aaliyah Perez
Aaliyah grew up in Duluth, Georgia, and graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in child studies & human and organizational development. During her time at Vandy, RUF became a place of fellowship, community, encouragement, and fun. She hopes to bring the same warmth, welcome, and inclusion to RUF at Florida State that she found in her own RUF experience, and is excited to see God at work in a new place! Aaliyah loves to write poetry, play (amateur) guitar, throw a football around, explore coffee shops, and she loves the beach.
