Meet our Founders
Andrea Low, Megan Waldrop, Angela Smith, Carol Prince and Beth Hancock.
These five women have been with LHO since the beginning and so excited to work with our community to empower the Youth who live here.
Meet our Board of Directors and our Executive Director
Andrea Low, Chairman of the Board and Treasurer
Andrea has always been passionate about serving her community and co-founded Lake Houston Outreach with the idea to say “YES!” to her community and to make space for her whole family to volunteer and give back. She believes it is important for the young people in her community to have an outlet for service and advancement. Many of Lake Houston Outreach’s service events are designed to be accessible to supporters of all ages. Professionally, Andrea is a Certified Public Accountant and is the Director of Federal Income Tax at Service Corporation International, but the roles she loves most are at home, wife to Jonathan and mom to Aubrey and Samantha. Her favorite pastimes are traveling with her family, reading, cooking with her kids and playing taxi-driver/cheerleader for her girls’ many activities! Whether volunteering, working or “mom-ing”, Andrea is driven to create opportunities for those around her, which is why she is very excited to launch the Youth Leadership Academy in August 2024! Join her and the rest of the LHO crew to make a difference – one youth at a time!

Beth Hancock - Board President
Beth Hancock has spent over 20 years as a pediatric Occupational Therapist making a difference in the lives of children. Her journey began after earning her doctorate in 2001 from Belmont University, where she discovered her passion for pediatrics. Beth’s commitment led her to diverse communities in Houston, where she empowered countless children and families. Throughout her career, Beth has worked in various settings, from sensory integration clinics to home health and outpatient care. As a natural leader and mentor, she has supervised large teams of therapists and directed clinical teams. Her expertise extends to teaching numerous continuing education courses.
Currently, Beth serves as the North Houston Division Director for Therapy 2000, where she introduces Houston families to the T2K difference. When she’s not caring for kiddos, she’s a proud wife and mother, cheering on her own all-star kids Lee and Addison in their academic and sports pursuits. Beth’s impact in the Houston community goes beyond therapy. As the Treasurer for Lake Houston Outreach, she manages resources to support the mission of helping those in need. Whether seeking sponsorships, grants, or strategizing fundraising efforts, Beth is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community. Her involvement doesn’t stop there. Beth has taught Sunday school to elementary-aged kids, guiding young minds, and fostering a love for learning. On Sundays, you might find her lending her voice to the praise and worship team at Lake Houston UMC, where music connects people on their spiritual journey. Recently, Beth helped to create a pediatric networking group called Networking for Kids focused on connecting healthcare providers who serve the pediatric population. Their inaugural meeting in early 2023 was a huge success with over 60 providers in attendance. The mission of the group is to share resources to help as many children as possible find the care that they need. Beth’s passion extends to educating those outside of healthcare, and she has presented on using sensory input to enhance learning outcomes in infant, preschool, and elementary-aged children. Her commitment to community and education continues to inspire those around her. So, whether she’s leading, singing praises, or advocating for better education, Beth is driven by a desire to create positive change. Join her on this journey with Lake Houston Outreach—making a difference, one youth at a time.
Megan Styron
Driven by exciting experiences, smiles on children’s faces and a love for families, Megan Styron is the driving force behind the excitement at Kanga’s Indoor Playcenter. Megan and her husband, Eric, opened their franchise of Kanga’s in February 2023. Eric and Megan work as a team to manage the day to day operations but Megan’s main focus is community involvement, marketing, and special events.
Since moving to Atascocita, Megan’s involvement in the community has always revolved around families – teaching preschool at a local mothers day out and also serving on staff at their local church. Serving the local church has always been a high priority in Megan’s adulthood and includes involvement in Women’s Ministry, disaster relief following Harvey, serving as directors of their Bible Study Class for many years and also teaching in the preschool. As a mother of 2, soon to be 3, Megan is deeply invested in creating a better future for her children and the community they grow up in. This parental perspective drives her commitment to initiatives that support families, children’s education and community wellbeing.
Whether it’s through her involvement in educational programs, community events or business ventures like Kanga’s, her goal is to create spaces and opportunities where families can thrive and feel supported. Megan believes that by focusing on God, love, empathy and service, we can create a more inclusive, supportive and vibrant community for generations to come.
Megan Waldrop, Executive Director
Megan earned her bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science from Texas State University, and her master’s and doctorate degree’s in physical therapy, both from Texas Women’s University. Despite loving her career in the fields of Physical Therapy, Megan didn’t think her way of life was working the way she wanted. Something needed to change. She had a full-time career with one of Lake Houston’s premier physical therapy clinics, four energetic, engaged children and a spouse who traveled every week. The biggest challenge in her career was walking away from it. While placing her Physical Therapy career on pause, Megan discovered her passion for serving her community through Lake Houston Outreach, Project Mammogram, Humble ISD PTA volunteer opportunities and Humble ISD education foundation grant reviewer.
Megan met her husband, Keith, when they were sophomores at Kingwood High School. They have been together ever since, married in 2007, parents of Austin, 15; Abby, 12; Ava, 7; and Audrey, 4. Spending time with her family is her favorite thing in life to do. She loves being able to watch her kids dance, run cross country and track, and perform with the KHS and RMS bands.
