She also held COMCARE positions of Crisis and Outpatient Therapist, Program Manager of Outpatient Services, Program Manager of Centralized Intake and Assessment, and Coordinator of the Community Assessment Program for Seniors.
Stacia earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in social work from Wichita State University. She has previously worked at Rainbows United, Via Christi HOPE, and Catholic Charities St. Anthony Family Shelter.

Stacia enjoys spending time with family, friends, and two sweet rescue dogs, Gus and Olive. She loves to read, shop for just about anything, organize, and decorate.
“I feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity to be involved with the Family Promise program,” Stacia says. “I consider it a privilege to help others, particularly those in crisis, and find it humbling when others trust me enough to share their story and walk alongside them as they take steps toward change. I’m excited about all of the things Family Promise of Greater Wichita has accomplished in a relatively short amount of time, and I’m looking forward to seeing how much more we can achieve together in the years to come!”
