hometown Kansas City, Kansas education Social Work BA, Harding University community involvement Open Door Outreach Our House staff since August 2013 I develop relationships with housing partners & create resources for current residents transitioning into housing. I facilitate the Alumni F.R.E.S.H. (Former Residents Educating Society on Homelessness) group. I enjoy being able to give to residents who are moving out of Our House a house-warming gift for their new place & being able to guide them into good permanen t housing with our Tenant Readiness class. With the help of F.R.E.S.H. hopefully the community will have a nice new view of homeless families. I’m happy to be a VISTA at Our House. I love being able to do substantial work that makes a difference. I’m working on my Social Work license. My parents are my heroes because they’ve taught me to do work that does the most good. They are both hard workers & value helping others reach their potential. I play video games & hang out with friends. I am new to Little Rock but found the Tandy a nice dollar theater.
