Chamber Information
Chamber Staff
Caitlyn Pesl, Membership Director
Caitlyn Pesl, a Houston Texas-native and all-around southern gal, comes from a big family in a small town. She was raised with strong values and groomed for hard work. Addicted to people who make her smile, Caitlyn never turns down the chance to make others laugh.
She is a recent graduate from Texas State University – San Marcos, Texas where she earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Mass Communication. She spent her college years becoming involved on campus and in the local community. Caitlyn held several leadership titles for the executive board of PRSSA, an organization for her major at Texas State. While in school, she took an unpaid internship with a local non-profit it Kyle, Texas. Her hard work there had a definite influence on the community and gave the organization more publicity than it’s ever had.
Her senior year Caitlyn was able to take a position at a production company in San Antonio as an assistant and researcher in the spring. The connections made at the company lead her back home and to her first career, a marketing team leader for the popular energy shot, 5-hour ENERGY.
Caitlyn wasn't able to stay away from the hill country and central Texas for too long, however. She happily re-joined the Kyle, TX community in June 2012 to begin working with the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce as the Membership Director.

Jennifer Shira, Marketing Specialist
A true Austinite, Jennifer was born and raised in South Austin before heading to Seguin, Texas for college. There she attended Texas Lutheran University and received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a focus on Business, Marketing and Sports Management.
Immediately following graduation, Jennifer accepted an internship with Spurs Sports and Entertainment in San Antonio where she gained valuable experience in marketing, coordinating events and game operations. Since then she has lived in New Braunfels with her fiancé and continued to work for the Spurs and Rampage as well as in the Parks and Recreation department for the City of New Braunfels.
