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 (8), Johnny (6), Annelise (3), Bro (2), and Maggie (1). 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 Campus Staff victoria.wallenstein@ruf.org GIVE NOW 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. Andrew Jerome Intern andrew.jerome@ruf.org GIVE NOW Andrew mainly grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. He went to school at the University of Alabama where he received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Computer Science. In his free time, Andrew loves sports, movies, and reading science fiction and fantasy novels. Throughout college, RUF was one of his favorite experiences and it had a significant impact on his life. The community and friends he made there created an environment that encouraged him to grow in faith and love for the Lord. Andrew is excited to work as an RUF Intern at Florida State University where he hopes to help provide a similar environment for students. Luke Wilkerson Intern luke.wilkerson@ruf.org GIVE NOW Luke Wilkerson grew up in Greenwood, Indiana. He went to school at Florida Gulf Coast University where he completed his bachelor’s of Software Engineering. RUF transformed Luke’s life and college experience, showing him what it meant to be a follower of Christ. RUF was a place where Luke could learn about his God given gifts, and discern a calling to use them in full time vocational ministry. The main highlight of his RUF college career was meeting his wife Kea his freshman year at RUF’s fall conference and having their RUF FGCU campus ministry (Lucas Tanner) officiate their wedding. While Luke is serving as FSU’s RUF intern, Kea will be completing her Master’s of Fine Arts at FSU. Besides his RUF romantic endeavors, Luke loved reaching the unreached for Christ and leading bible studies on "less" popular books of the Bible. When Luke wasn’t serving RUF in the summers he would work for Covenant Life PCA as their youth ministry intern and work on his pastoral internship requirements for his presbytery. A memorial experience was preaching for the first time at his home church Oak River PCA for the RUF graduation celebration service where we ran out of chairs for their Sunday service! In his free time he loves to play pickleball, video games on the PC he built, hit the gym, and read a good theology book on the beach. Rachel Wilson Intern rachel.wilson@ruf.org GIVE NOW Rachel is from Sumter SC and graduated from Anderson University with a degree in Elementary Education. Rachel loves connecting with people and helping others grow. During her undergrad years, RUF helped Rachel grow deeper in her relationship with the Lord and showed her what is means to live in a true gospel-centered community. In her free time, you can find Rachel exploring new places with friends, hiking, photographing weddings and families, and sitting outside with a good book in hand. One day (maybe in retirement) Rachel dreams of becoming a National Park Ranger. She is so excited about moving to the sunshine state to serve with RUF at Florida State University!
