Peyton serves as Media Director at Cross Timbers Church in Valley View, Texas, where she was on the innovative front lines during the dynamic 2020 communication and media shift within ministry and culture across the world. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Oral Roberts University and holds a bachelor’s degree in Convergence Journalism/Broadcast.

During her time at ORU, she was elected Student Body President, therefore serving as the communication bridge and representative between multiple internal and external groups. Additionally, Peyton’s passion for discovering and representing diverse perspectives throughout society, politics, and leadership led her to intern in New York City at the Fox News Channel, which coincided with the 2016 United States Presidential campaign coverage.

Peyton later went on to become the Administrative Liaison within the ORU President’s Office, where she functioned in various capacities with presidential events, communication, and representation, while also assisting in coordinating international ministry and media.

Being a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for those whom often feel overlooked in society is at the core of Peyton’s personal and professional mission in journalism and leadership. Even while reaching a wide and diverse audience, her intention is to always focus first on discipling, encouraging, and impacting each individual heart in a relatable and relevant way with the convergence of professional excellence and Spirit-empowered culture.
