SECOND YEAR INTERNS

The second year of interning is all about influence. We seek to
understand what Jesus died for us to do in terms of realizing how we can serve and impact others through the skills, talents and strengths that
we have been given.
SECOND YEAR | MEDIA
Some things Jackson loves to be asked about:
- The new Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson (IT’S SO GOOD)
- How to put outfits together based on color palette

- Why the movie Rango is so good
- What I learned about God from plants in Costa Rica

KASANA PAGE

SECOND YEAR | ENCOUNTER + MISSIONS + HR
Kasana loves all things outdoors, baking, flowers, quality time, hugs(!!!), chocolate cake, seeing the beauty in the little things, and watching people live more and more into the fullness and freedom the Lord has for them!! If you need a buddy to go on a walk with, do something fun outdoors (rock climbing or kayaking anyone?), watch a UGA game with, listen to you or give you a comforting hug she’s your girl!! :)

KATIE PITNER

SECOND YEAR | CONNECT + WORSHIP
Katie is a second year Worship and Connect intern who is an avid Harry Potter fan, average pickleball player, and recent Anomia fiend (look it up—seriously) She can relate almost any situation to a New Girl scene and rap most of Hamilton. She’s always down for a coffee or ~treat~ and seeing people live more freely in God. Go Dawgs!

LAUREN FORBES

SECOND YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP  + THE LIGHT
Hi! Happy to be here! I’ll probably run into you at Mollys.

MADISON HENRY

SECOND YEAR | SMALL GROUP
Madison is a recent UGA graduate and a lover of sports, coffee, music + concerts, and people. You can often find her at a local Athens restaurant, on a walk with her dog, or watching a Braves game with friends. She is very passionate about students stepping into the abundant life Jesus offers and knowing the love God has for His children!!

MARY BETH MALLARD

SECOND YEAR | PRAYER + MEDIA
She's the funniest person ever, assuming you have a quality sense of humor. She is a grill master, assuming you like your steak medium rare and delicious. Excellent at girl math, mediocre at regular math, and horrible at spelling. She thrives in finding creative solutions that make people feel seen and loved. Want to know more? You can find her at an antique shop, in her recliner, or at work. Bring snacks

MICHAEL WEIDNER

SECOND YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP + ENCOUNTER + ISM
I like to be silly, and I like to be deep. Trying to champion holy chaos. I reference New Girl whenever possible. I’m passionate about discipleship as modeled by Jesus. I want to see evangelism become a part of the culture here. I love hangs, intentional connection, sports, and gummies.

QUADE HARDIN

SECOND YEAR | SMALL GROUP
I’m a second year small group intern. You’re probably wondering where my name comes from. I am named after the 1984 Chuck Norris movie ‘Lone Wolf McQuade.’ It’s a western about a Texas ranger who has a pet wolf. I don’t have a pet wolf, but I do have a pet dwarf hamster named Buc (named after Buc-ee’s). My biggest weakness is if you ask me to go out to eat I’ll always say yes. People say my biggest strength is “stirring the pot.”

SAM KNELL

SECOND YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP + ISM
Sam loves to play tennis and pickleball, he enjoys reading, and has a pretty mean curry recipe. He loves to learn and have fun and Lord willing, wants to get a dog soon. He also loves the opportunity to see hearts come alive as people step into their callings and identities in Christ.

SIDNEY COUNSELL

SECOND YEAR | ADMIN + ISM
You can probably find her at the gym or jogging around Five Points, Sidney is passionate about reading, big mugs of coffee, and how walking is one of the best ways to hang. Always one to talk about the best places to eat in Athens (Marker 7 for sure), she also loves how even the most seemingly innocuous of tasks and jobs have the power to bring glory to God and advance His kingdom. She's happy to be here!

WES BULLINGTON

SECOND YEAR | ENCOUNTER + WORSHIP
Wes is a second year Worship and Encounter intern who is passionate about music, stories, martial arts and missions. He keeps JRR Tolkien's quote close to heart, "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost." Also, I'm a funny guy, c'mon "guys," seriously.

ZACK WASHBURN

SECOND YEAR | WORSHIP + FIRST YEAR TIME
Zack is a second year intern who loves pickleball, blueberry muffins, and Benedict Cumberbatch. He's watched Parks and Rec more times than he's proud of, and he spends a lot of time at the botanical gardens. Ask him about what he did in school and his neat dog Goose!
