A Word From Our Executive Director

I have been with the Habitat for Humanity of Henderson Affiliate for over seven years. I originally became interested in Habitat when a girl that I knew from school received a home.  I thought how cool that all these volunteers are working to build her and her family a home. I eventually was able to be the person that took the very last mortgage payment for that home from the Sharp Family! I started with the affiliate as a Resource Committee Volunteer my first two years. When I began volunteering on that committee I was hooked. I hoped and prayed that one day a job would open up with the affiliate and I could make their mission my every day work ! That opportunity came to me about five years ago.  I started in July of 2014 and haven’t looked back.

I am one of the luckiest people alive. I come to work every day and help build houses, build hope and change lives in Henderson County. I also get to talk (one of my favorite things) to people every day about how affordable housing can change a life. I may be a little bias but we have the best volunteers in Henderson who help us build every week. I am also surrounded by a wonderful staff, committees and Board of Directors. Lastly I keep in mind each day my 5 year old son Everett. I want Everett to grow up in a world where everyone works together and shares their blessings and talents. What better organization that Habitat for Humanity to show him how to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.
