Founder & Director
What is your "SoloHope story"?
When I was 16, I had an opportunity to travel to Honduras on a mission trip. When I stepped off the plane in San Pedro Sula, I felt like I had come home. From that point on, it was always about getting back to Honduras. Through my travels, I began to learn about the challenges that women in rural Honduras face each day. I saw a need for jobs--jobs that would empower and renew hope. In 2012, I had a crazy idea to create bracelets from pine needles and thread. I was introduced to Dilcia. I showed her rough sketches and asked if she thought it was possible. She said yes. That was the beginning of SoloHope. SoloHope has grown over the years to include community development and other aspects but our artisan team and creating jobs will always hold my heart. Working alongside our artisan team and the people of Honduras is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I will forever be grateful for our SoloHope community and how they have carried me through some of my darkest hours. They are my family.

I'm excited to be in a community that believes in the ability of hope as a change catalyst. SoloHope does amazing work and from the few weeks I've been working here, I already feel at home.
What is one thing written on your magic paper? (Everything written on magic paper comes true!)
I've seen plenty of nonprofits that do work for others in different countries, but SoloHope is different. Often you see groups coming in and working on projects without any input from the community they work in. Relationships are at the root of what SoloHope does and it's beautiful. SoloHope holds hands with community members and works together for change. I feel so honored to work for an organization who has a heart for community and I can't wait to see all the awesome things that God will do through SoloHope.
What is your favorite SoloHope product?
For sure the HOPE Bead Bracelets!
