Hope joined the team in April 2024 with a heart to bring awareness of HOPE’s mission and to connect partners with their passion to see lives transformed.

Now, with over fourteen years’ experience in non-profit ministry, Hope has seen the power of the Gospel lead people to the heart of God. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband and is active in her church and community.
