LaRae L Ivy

LaRae grew up in West Texas and has been an avid reader her entire life. She earned a BA in History and a MA in Museum Science. Her professional career has given her a myriad of experiences including working at the National Air and Space Museum where she met Neil Armstrong, sitting behind the wheel of historic race cars, and sitting down to a steak dinner with the President of the United States. Outside of her professional life, LaRae has been a member of the world's largest service organization since 2012. She has served with the Lions Club to meet needs in her community and all across Texas. Her heart of services has also given her a global vision leading to three trips to Africa, twice to Uganda and once to Kenya, where she assisted with medical missions and worked in schools in both countries. Such a wide array of experiences has given LaRae the ability to see the world from a unique perspective and an overactive imagination. From sitting at the table of King's to helping a child see, LaRae has an overabundance of stories to tell. Her heart of service has driven her to use those stories to connect with those around her and encourage them to be the best version of themselves possible.
