Kelsei and her husband recently relocated to the area with their three children, following her husband's job opportunity. She feels incredibly blessed to be part of this new community and is excited for the school year ahead.
My family has been part of First Montgomery for over 25 years. My husband and I have taught Sunday School together and have been coordinators and participants for several pre-teen church camps. I’ve also led women’s Bible study on Wednesday nights for a number of years and once had the opportunity to teach at an English camp in Italy during a mission trip.
We have two grown children, three dogs, and a bunch of chickens that keep us stocked with fresh eggs! My husband and I love to travel—we enjoy visiting museums, exploring historical sites, and relaxing by the water whenever we can.
Oh—and just so you know, I’m definitely a tea person, not a coffee drinker!
Evelyn Jackson was born and raised in Monterrey, N.L., México, where she lived until moving to the United States at age 20. She earned her college degree in Industrial Design, studying both in Mexico and in Milan, Italy.
A lifelong Spanish speaker, Evelyn has shared her native language with her own children from a young age and has worked on translation projects for companies alongside her professional career. She is passionate about introducing others to the beauty of the Spanish language and the richness of Mexican culture.
Evelyn, her husband and their two kids moved to Montgomery four years ago in search of a close-knit community, more space to connect with nature, and values that aligned with their own. They live on land where their children can grow up surrounded by the outdoors, continuing a deep family connection to the area — her father-in-law’s grandparents were among the early families in downtown Montgomery.
Creative, artsy, and always ready with a smile, Evelyn brings energy, warmth, and a love for culture to her Spanish classes, inspiring students to embrace language as a bridge to new experiences and perspectives.
