Hey friends! My name is Mary Lee Knowles and I have had the opportunity to serve as on staff since June 2022!
I grew up in McKinney, TX and then moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas (Hook ‘Em!), where I studied Government and Religion. In college, I got to serve in college ministry at my church and lead YoungLife and WyldLife. After college, I participated in Pine Cove’s leadership program called the Forge and have been in Tyler ever since! Before coming on staff at South Spring, I worked in the foster care world at a Child Placement agency for a year and a half. I’m passionate about foster care and would love to talk to you about it sometime!
In my free time, I love to spend time with friends, read (always looking for good book recommendations), and play with my dog, Betty.
