From an early age, I sensed a calling to serve those experiencing brokenness. Over time, I came to recognize a gift the Lord had given me to help individuals see truths about themselves that they may not recognize on their own, while also helping others around them gain greater clarity, understanding, and compassion. I began living this out through volunteering to mentor adolescents and young adults transitioning out of the foster care system, walking alongside them as they navigated identity, purpose, stability, and independence. During this same season of life, I also worked in marketing and small business management, where I further developed skills in communication, leadership, relationship-building, and understanding people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
After spending the early years of my adulthood growing as a small business manager and marketing professional, being involved in community care in a volunteer capacity alone eventually began to feel insufficient, as I felt increasingly compelled to dedicate my entire career to a life of service and walking alongside others through some of life’s most difficult circumstances. This ultimately led me to embark on a professional journey in social work, where I could more fully devote my life, skills, and calling to supporting individuals, families, and communities in need.
Now, after 17 combined years of volunteer and professional direct community care, I feel called to focus my work on equipping, supporting, and strengthening the servant leaders who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Through the knowledge, wisdom, and practical insight gained throughout those years, my desire is to come alongside pastors, ministry leaders, counselors, social workers, healthcare professionals, and other frontline caregivers so they can continue serving their communities with greater clarity, sustainability, effectiveness, and hope. With a unique blend of experience in marketing, business leadership, and clinical social work, I am uniquely positioned to provide expert support through professional development and leadership training, administrative support and program oversight, mental health and continuity-of-care consultation, and strategic partnership coordination between churches, nonprofits, and community organizations throughout North Texas.

Church Seats to City Streets: Bridging Faith and Community Care
Nonprofit Vision
All proceeds from my social work services, as well as sponsorships of the Christopher and Daniel Show will go towards establishing a 501(c)(3) non profit organization called Church Seats to City Streets, which will be an effort to organize a coalition network of Christ-centered servant leaders who are dedicated to bridging the gap between church seats and city streets by promoting Christ-centered community care initiatives that restore individuals, strengthen churches, and coordinate sustainable systems of care.
Proceeds will be utilized to establish three unique platforms to carry out this mission:
Phase 1: Formal incorporation, as well as forming and developing partnerships through networking on social media, blogs, participation in community events, and other networking opportunities.
Phase 2: Mobile outreach to those who may be isolated from routine connection (handicap-accessible van), and providing partners with the ability to offer transportation assistance to those who have appointments for physical and mental healthcare, as well as pastoral care.
Phase 3: Discipleship Village where those seeking peace, refuge, and hope have the opportunity to live affordably, participate in daily discipleship and worship, access affordable medical and mental healthcare, access vocational skills training, etc.
