Growing up, my grandma ran an at-home daycare, and I spent a lot of time helping her care for the kids there. That experience sparked an early love for helping children and supporting their growth. Throughout the years, I\u2019ve also enjoyed serving in the children\u2019s ministry at my church, which continued to strengthen my passion for helping young people feel valued and encouraged. I truly believe that every child deserves to grow up in a caring and loving environment where they feel safe and supported. Being able to contribute to that mission, even in a small way, is incredibly meaningful to me.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33\"]{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_ed508c-33\"><strong>How long have you worked for Texas CASA, and how did you get involved with the CASA mission?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve worked at Texas CASA full-time for a year, but I first got involved with the organization as a website design intern. Before starting my internship, I didn\u2019t know very much about Texas CASA, but I quickly learned about the impact of the organization and grew to love the mission. As I became more familiar with the work CASA programs do across the state, it was incredibly meaningful to see how my technical and design skills could contribute to such an important cause. Being able to use those skills to support children and families made the work feel especially fulfilling and aligned with my personal values. I also love when I tell people that I work at Texas CASA, and they immediately share a positive story or connection they have with CASA.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_15987d-91\"]{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_15987d-91\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_15987d-91\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading44773_15987d-91 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_15987d-91\"><strong><strong>Tell us about your work in the Communications team and your role as Website Development and Communications Specialist.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my role, I not only support Texas CASA and local programs with their website needs, but I also have the opportunity to equip programs with the tools and knowledge to manage their websites confidently and effectively. I provide hands-on support through website updates, troubleshooting, and personalized training for programs that need additional guidance. The <a href=\"https:\/\/texascasa.org\/program-portal\/resources\/website-tutorials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website tutorial resource<\/a> I developed offers step-by-step video tutorials that guide local CASA programs through editing and maintaining their websites.

That passion became even more personal through my close relationship with my best friend and her family. My best friend and her husband adopted her daughter after her mother served as her kinship caregiver, and I\u2019ve had the privilege of watching her daughter grow, thrive, and truly step into who she\u2019s meant to be with the support of a loving family and her CASA volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing my friend share how impactful her daughter\u2019s CASA was during different stages of her life gave me a deeper understanding of the role CASA volunteers play. Their story put a real, personal perspective to the mission and reminded me that behind every website update, newsletter, or resource I help create, there are children and families whose lives are being directly impacted. That connection motivates me to approach my work with intention and care, knowing that even behind-the-scenes support contributes to something much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19\"]{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44773_93f74c-19\"><strong>What is your favorite part about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to work alongside people who are truly passionate about what they do and deeply committed to helping others.&nbsp;From the very beginning of my internship, everyone was incredibly welcoming and supportive, which made it easy to feel connected and part of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also love being able to support local programs by helping solve their technology needs.
