TLC Director - Where were you born and where have you lived?
I was born in Atlanta, GA. I grew up here in Thomasville. - Are you married and do you have any children / family?
I am married to my wonderful husband Jerrod Clark. I have 3 children and 3 bonus babies. We have six kids together and we love doing family oriented activities. - When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a child, I always dreamed of being a pediatric nurse. - Aside from ministry, do you have a preferred hobby(s)?
I love to read my bible, mystery books, romance novels, and watch true crime shows. - Would you like to share anything about your professional career, education or current endeavors?
I’ve been working with children for 15 years now and I love it. I am currently enrolled in school to take more childcare courses to better understand children with developmental or behavioral issues. I also would like to add being a preschool director is not just about the children. TLC is a ministry who provides jobs and a safe haven for people who may have never had a job, may have social anxiety, or may just need a place to work where they can be loved and prayed for. Not everyone goes to church, but we bring church to them. We teach children, but before a person can teach a child, we pour into them spiritually. I’ve seen hearts change and women become a better version of themselves just by working at TLC. From praying for medical needs, showing up when help is needed, to helping coworker short on rent or daycare, we are a family. - What is your favorite thing(s) about VFC?
I love how VFC loves our community. I also love how everyone is welcomed. It doesn’t matter where you work, how wealthy you are, or what ethnicity you are, VFC will welcome you with open arms. - What is your favorite candy, ice cream, or treat?
