Kathryn Mendenhall

Kathryn was brought up in Cedar Hill, Texas, spending most of her time outdoors competing in sports such as swimming and kayak races. She received her B.S. degree in marine & freshwater biology at The University of Texas at Austin, and her M.S. degree in fisheries & mariculture at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

If asked to describe herself in three words, she would say ‘resourceful’, ‘adaptive’, and ‘compassionate’. She currently serves as a Wings Intern at the Trinity River Audubon Center in Dallas, and a volunteer at the Dallas Zoo/Children’s Aquarium, all of which provide her the opportunity to work youth (something she loves). Kathryn is newlywed to her college sweetheart, Adrian.
