A lifelong Midland resident, Stephanie’s career journey has been shaped by resilience and a deep commitment to her community. As a single mother, she worked as a purchasing manager in the oilfield to support her son, Brayden, who now serves as a correctional officer. When he enlisted in the Marines, Stephanie pursued her own aspirations in criminal justice, working as a Felony GPS officer for Midland County Pretrial while earning her associate degree. Since 2018, she has dedicated herself to crisis intervention, volunteering with the Crisis Intervention Unit for the Midland County Sheriff’s Office, and later supporting survivors of human trafficking.
With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, Stephanie joined the Basin Dream Center as Chief Program Officer, Crisis Manager, and Human Trafficking Advocate, providing direct care to homeless youth and trafficking survivors. Her personal experiences drive her passion for rehabilitation and reintegration, and she remains committed to deepening her understanding of trauma to better support the young adults she serves. In her free time, Stephanie enjoys traveling and spending time with family.
With a deep commitment to community service, Tina has built her career around addressing homelessness at its roots and advocating for sustainable solutions. Leading a team of passionate professionals and volunteers, she remains focused on a vision where every youth served can transition from crisis to self-sufficiency, free from the threat of homelessness. Tina’s dedication to young lives extends into her personal life as well. She is a loving mother of three biological children, and one adopted child from foster care and has fostered many more. A proud grandmother, she cherishes spending time with her grandsons, Nash and Holland. When she’s not engaged in her work, Tina and her husband enjoy relaxing in Florida and pursuing her hobbies of reading, hiking, and kayaking.
