CAITLYN MARSHALL - NURSING 

Caitlyn is a graduate of Kingdom Collegiate Academy in DeSoto, TX. With mixed emotions, Caityln is excited to embrace a new direction in her life. This journey started at Fellowship Christian Academy in Mrs. McKinney's KB classroom. She and others made learning exciting by igniting the embers of curiosity and creativity. Even now, the embers are a raging burning bush that must continue to burn even brighter. Through all my training at church, school, sports, and home, she has a strong sense of discipline, excellent work ethic, impeccable time management, and people skills.

The next phase of her journey will be at East Texas Baptist University where she will major in nursing while playing beach volleyball for school. During her tenure at the college, she will be working with her volleyball teammates to serve Marshall, Texas. They will work with the special needs community, literacy at elementary schools, and food pantries. Additionally, they will do a missionary trip to needy communities and to have a little fun, they will teach beach volleyball to the locals. Caitlyn would like to show other nationalities the spirit of America while providing service to the larger global community.
