Meet Our Advocates

Advocates are the heart and soul behind Carson’s Village. They provide guided assistance to families who are navigating the myriad of tasks that must be completed when a loved one passes.

Cristina H.

Advocate

 

 

 

Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Cristina has always had a heart for helping people. She started working with adolescents and families at the age of 19, and she knew it was going to be her life calling. She received her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies, while she worked as a case manager with homeless youth in the high school setting. She knew that she wanted to do more, and ultimately obtained her Masters in Social Worker from Arizona State University in 2015. 

She has worked in crisis response, school social work, and has experience as a bereaved parent after losing her firstborn son. She has a passion to help people, particularly in crisis response and navigating resources to get families connected. Her hope for being an advocate at Carsons Village is to help people feel supported as they walk through their grief journey and that they never feel alone.

Alisha M.

Advocate

Alisha recently moved to California from Kentucky to start an exciting Veterinary Social Work (VSW) career. She received her Master of Science in Social Work from Spalding University. She rapidly saw the value of social workers in the medical industry and their ability to show compassion and support to patients at their most vulnerable when working at the VA hospital in Kentucky.  

As a proactive part of the veterinary healthcare team, a VSW specializes in issues including mourning, grief, and end-of-life decisions. Alisha’s present position as a VSW enables her to offer pet parents resources and grief support in addition to being an understanding ear. Alisha is thrilled to be a part of Carson’s Village as an Advocate, offering assistance to let individuals know they are not alone in this journey and to make them feel supported as they go through their grieving process.
