FOCUS Missionaries!

Lexi
Cott

Hey y’all! My name is Lexi Cott. I am PUMPED to be coming back to the University of Central Oklahoma as team director for a second year!

In 2019 I graduated from Wichita State University with a bachelors in elementary, early childhood, and special education. I’ve served as a missionary with FOCUS in Tennessee and Louisiana and had many conversations in coffee shops along the way.

My loves are Jesus - my husband, Dillon, - long walks - great jams - coffee in the mornin’ and wine in the evenin’.

Shoot me a text or call at 316-708-4653. I’d love to get to know you!
