At the age of 15 Stacy felt called to work with teenagers and God has affirmed that ever since. From her time working at the Boys and Girls Club and church youth groups to her current role at Goshen Valley,  Stacy has been focused on caring for and ministering to at risk adolescents.

After college graduation, Stacy moved to South Africa on a two-year mission working with adolescents, many of whom were orphans, undocumented or extremely impoverished.  Her role was to assist in bible studies, community organization and life skills instruction. Upon her return to Georgia, she married her husband of 11 years, Brad,  and moved to Cherokee County where she worked with high school dropouts assisting them with GED completion and obtaining employment.

In 2013, Stacy felt called to join Goshen Valley. For many years, she had heard children say that they did not want to end up like their parents, but then watched as they ended up repeating the cycle. Goshen Valley was an agency where kids could learn the little day-to-day decisions it takes to actually be different! At Goshen, they learn these behaviors from houseparents who model what it means to love Jesus, each other, and the boys in their homes.

During her time at Goshen Valley, capacity has increased from 29 to 46 youth, GVBR has developed a trauma informed methodology to care, and therapeutic programming for youth has increased by 200%.

Stacy is a graduate of Berry College where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Family Studies. She is TBRI, Impact and Safety Care Certified.
