Susan Williams,
Executive Director

Journey of Hope was lucky to have Susan come on as Executive Director in 2005, previously having worked for the Dallas Children's Museum, the Utah Arts Council, and the Governor's Energy Office. As Executive Director, Susan heads all fundraising, grant writing, speaking engagements, and media inquires for Journey of Hope. We would not be able to run without her enthusiasm and efforts!

Susan is a native of San Angelo and enjoys CrossFit, spending time with her grandchildren, and rooting for her alma mater, University of Texas.

Carla began volunteering with Journey of Hope in 2008 as a facilitator, and then began working as Program Director in March of 2010. She received her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Womens University in 2005 and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist-Associate (LMFT-A) and Licensed Professional Counselor-Intern. Carla performs all family intake appointments, writes curriculum for Journey of Hope support groups, and is the friendly face you see on group nights! She also trains and manages all of Journey of Hope's volunteer facilitators and supervises interns here in our office.

A native of Daytona Beach, Florida, Carla enjoys playing disc golf, cooking from scratch, and visiting the beach in her free time.

Katie began her time with Journey of Hope as a practicum intern and group facilitator in the Fall of 2010 while completing her Bachelors Degree in Development and Family Studies from the University of North Texas, and she also has a certificate in Web Design from Southern Methodist University. In April of 2011, Katie took over as Administrative Director which includes all donation processing and donor database maintenance, internet and web communications, and she continues to facilitate children's support groups. Chances are, when you call our office, she will be the one on the other end of the line!

In her free time, Katie enjoys yoga, shopping, and happy hour with friends.
