Alayna Lofgren
Alayna received her Bachelor’s degree in Communication at the University of Louisville. After doing an internship at her first nonprofit, she knew that this career path was her calling.

She is extremely passionate about building up her community through serving Jesus. Alayna’s life goal is to impact as many lives as possible, desiring to live a life of true purpose.
Outside of Barren Heights, Alayna cares for her son Liam, as well as playing volleyball, drawing with oil pastels, and enjoying the outdoors.
