What is your job title and what year did you come on staff at The WellHouse?
I am a Case Manager for WellHouse Woman, and I came on staff in July 2022.
What is your favorite part about your job?
My favorite part of my job is getting to know the children we serve and working on a campus that is unbelievably beautiful. I have always wanted to work with women in human trafficking, and now I am in this position doing exactly what I asked for in prayer. It is such a blessing to experience God’s faithfulness of placing me here and seeing His hand on the small details of my life. I believe that our God is a God of restoration, and that’s the core of what we do here at The WellHouse.
Tell us about your educational and professional experience that equips you to be successful in this field.
I have my undergraduate and graduate degree in Social Work from The University of Alabama.
Tell us about your journey coming into the anti-trafficking field and with The WellHouse.
For me that began in 2015, when I read a book called the White Umbrella and was exposed to the anti-trafficking movement. Around this time, The WellHouse CEO, Carolyn Potter, came to speak at my high school. I remember thinking afterwards that I hoped to work for an agency like The WellHouse one day.
