Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Royse City, TX, about 25 miles east of Dallas. We didn't have any stoplights and it's a big deal that they're now building a Wal-Mart there. My mom and step-dad are still in the same house I grew up in so I try to go visit as much as possible.
Where did you go to school/what is your degree in?
I attended the University of North Texas where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies with a Minor in Strategic Communication/Public Relations
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time you can find me playing with my dogs (Molly a Cocker Spaniel and Maggie a Miniature Dachshund), running, cooking/making up new recipes, or helping my husband out with speech and debate tournaments.
What are a few fun/interesting facts about yourself?
I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers (My maiden name is Morman so this always got a bunch a jokes), I did the "Toddlers and Tiaras" style pageants as a child, I've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad, and up until February of 2015 I had never been out of the country.
Rachel Biggs- Account Director

Where did you go to school/what is your degree in?
I studied Radio/TV/Film at Baylor, and got my Masters form TCU in Communication Studies. This creates a football season debacle.

What are a few fun/interesting facts about yourself?
1.I can cure the hiccups without fail.
2. I haven't had a Coke of any variety since June 4, 2004. (For the record: Tonic doesn't count). 3. I like pink.
Anything else you want the iProspect team to know about you?
People say I'm direct.
Jenny Laing- Account Coordinator
Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised right here in Fort Worth, TX :)
Where did you go to school/what is your degree in?
I studied at the College at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX and my Undergraduate Degree work was in Biblical Studies.
What do you like to do in your free time?
During my free time I enjoy doing anything that involves family, friends and meeting new people! I love to travel, read, grab coffee with friends and get involved in the arts and theater community. I enjoy volunteering in community outreach to the homeless and for Women’s Shelters whenever possible. I also really enjoy staying active outdoors and may do a little bit of Netflix binging on my favorite detective shows when I get the opportunity. ;) My very favorite thing to do is spend time with my family and spoil my amazing nieces and nephew as much as I can!
What are a few fun/interesting facts about yourself?
-I have worked part time as a professional artist for the last 10 years selling large scale impressionistic paintings and wall murals.
-I taught children’s classes for several years at an Acting and Modeling Agency and did a brief season of modeling myself.
-I have lived and worked in 5 different states since graduating high school.
-I have traveled to 11 countries on international mission trips and loved every second!
