We’re so excited to have 3 driven young professionals join our team this summer to help and learn all the things about nonprofit work, serving families and children in foster care, and making an impact on the local community!

DENISE
Denise is currently a full-time student at University of Houston-Downtown, and she is an aspiring bilingual teacher. She was born and raised in Houston by immigrant parents from Mexico. ⁠
⁠
Denise’s passion for serving and helping at risk children began after her time spent in Mexico. She lived abroad for two years, and served the community of Puebla, Mexico through Living Hope International. During her time there, she lived alongside the orphaned children of Esperanza Viva and witnessed the healing power of love and Christ in their lives.⁠ As an advocate for children throughout the world, Denise hopes her time serving with Houston Angels will catapult her career within nonprofit organizations. She is excited and honored to be a small part of everything Houston Angels is doing to help the foster care community.⁠

Loves: Jesus, fruit smoothies, scented candles, shopping, singing in the car⁠
⁠
Dislikes: Houston traffic, negativity, roaches, airport layovers

GRACE
​Grace is a student at Second Baptist School, where she is involved in choir, student life prefect committee, and theatre. She also volunteers and trains at Krav Maga, military self-defense and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces. She is also involved in figure skating. When her parents were young, they immigrated to the USA due to the Vietnam War.
​
Grace wanted to intern for Houston Angels this summer because she enjoyed the work she was able to accomplish with her team during her Nonprofit 101 course. She was moved by her interest in the inner mechanics of how a non-profit works and hopes to start her own nonprofit one day!

Loves: Figure Skating, Family, Jesus, Shopping, Singing, Theater, Traveling
Dislikes: Bugs, being late, forgetfulness⁠
​
LAUREN
Lauren was born and raised in Houston. She participates in theatre and the dance team at school. She love to sing, dance, and act. After taking a Nonprofit 101 course, she learned about the need for more community support for Houston's foster families and youth. She knew she wanted to get involved and help, and she is so excited to join the Houston Angels team this summer!

Loves: cold brew coffee and her shi tzu, Lanie
Dislikes: Brussels sprouts and algebra
