During her time there, she earned an Excellence in Teaching award. She also worked at Link Care Foundation where she was the Director of Missions and Member Care. Annie has always enjoyed working in the intersection of education, training, administration, and clinical work. But don’t let her degree or title fool you into thinking she is not just any other human being trying to figure out life and do her best, just like the rest of us! She is a working mother of two young children, and wife to her high school sweetheart. She balances taking care of others and her family by letting the idea of perfection go and relying on the support of a large extended family. She loves having family dance parties in her living room, bike rides through the town of Clovis and reading fiction. She hates being hungry and not having access to food, so you’ll always find her with snacks tucked away here and there. Some call her the Queen of Snacks! She is most passionate about people having experiences where they are not alone in their suffering. She thrives on witnessing healing and transformation in the lives of those she works with. She believes transformation is a beautiful and sacred thing to behold.
