About Carol Lynn
Carol Lynn spent her older childhood in Gilchrist County, FL. Adopted from foster care at 16 years old, she is highly passionate about the wellbeing of youth and families within the Florida dependency system. She is so glad to be part of a ministry and workplace where others experience restoration and healing through the support of God and His people.
Carol Lynn is pursuing her Masters of Social Work (Clinical) at Florida State University. She says that her life was profoundly impacted by a range of professionals who dedicated themselves to protecting children, and that their compassion inspired her to pursue a similar path. She loves working with kiddos and serving at-risk families through New Ways and her other professional experiences.
Carol Lynn enjoys serving others, a good outdoor adventure, and spending time with her family and two (perfect) bunnies.
