Kendra grew up in Salt Lake City, and after a semester at Ricks College, she volunteered to teach English in Russia through a program called ILP. After serving a mission in Utica, NY, an experience that deepened her love for service and teaching, she married her best friend and supported him in his military service while raising 5 children. Driven to continue her education, she completed her bachelor’s degree through Pathways during the challenges of COVID, embodying her belief in lifelong learning and resilience.
A Certified Life Coach and co-host of the Gather in Christ podcast, Kendra is passionate about personal development, health, and empowering others—especially youth. She currently teaches Early Morning Seminary, where her enthusiasm for nurturing young minds shines. Her mission is to help others see themselves through God’s eyes and confidently pursue their divine potential. When she’s not teaching or coaching, she loves spending time with her family, especially on the lake, playing the piano, watching her kids wrestle, going to the temple, reading and learning, and serving where she can. Her motto, “I can do ALL things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
