As the executive director, I've seen Goodness Village evolve from a church-led ministry to an independent 501(c)(3). We provide affordable and fully furnished apartments to those coming to Little Rock for medical treatment. Our safe and comfortable homes offer a loving and supportive environment, allowing patients and families to focus on rest and recovery.

pressing questions

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

The core mission of making a difference in families' lives, working with a dedicated staff, making an impact and building meaningful relationships with our guests keeps me motivated every day.

One practice I use to maintain my mental health

Maintaining mental health is crucial in my line of work. I prioritize working out, surrounding myself with positivity and finding quiet time daily to recharge.

The first thing I do to course-correct when I hit a wall

Hitting a wall is inevitable, but I don't give up. Instead, I pick up the pieces, talk to a friend and try again until I get it right.

Biggest challenges in my career

I have a strong drive to make our vision for Goodness Village a reality. My passion for our mission sometimes makes it difficult to establish boundaries and balance.

Nonprofit I wish more people knew about

Goodness Village provides affordable housing and compassionate care for patients seeking medical treatment in Little Rock, easing the burden of finding a place to stay so they focus on recovery.

A skill I never expected to need in this field

Working in this industry means juggling between all areas of our organization, from operations to development and everything in between. I must be able to pivot at a moment's notice.

Best advice I ever received

Follow your dreams and dream BIG. At Goodness Village, we are growing so fast and our BIG dreams get closer to reality every day.

The one thing I wish people knew about my field

The guests we meet at Goodness Village welcome us as an extension of their family during the most unimaginable times. It builds a meaningful and lasting bond that blesses us.

It's all in the details...
