Kailyn Choi
Kailyn is from the northwest suburbs of Chicago and graduated from the University of Washington, where she studied sociology and business. She got involved with RUF as a freshman, and even though she was far from home, she quickly found a genuine and loving community. That experience shaped her deeply and led her to want to walk alongside other students as they navigate their own journeys. She is excited to be at the University of South Florida with the opportunity for a new adventure! She loves building relationships and spending time with people.
Bennett Menendez-Clark
Bennett was born in Rock Port, Maine, in 2002. He grew up in Dayton, Tennessee. In 2015, his family moved as missionaries to the Dominican Republic. After a year there, he moved to Lakeland, Florida. He is set to graduate from the University of South Florida in the Spring of 2025 with a BA in History and Philosophy. Bennett married his high school sweetheart, Jolie, in the summer of 2024. Bennett was raised in a Christian household, but truly started pursuing the Lord in 2018, when, at an Episcopal Youth Retreat, he gave his life to Christ. The Lord led him to RUF at USF where he fell in love with Reformed Theology. He is extremely excited to serve with RUF for the next two years!
