About Lana --

What do you like to do outside of work (hobbies, sports, interests)?

  • Hang out with my family’s miniature schnauzer puppy (Cody) and hormonal teenaged kitten (Charlie), and pet sit for friends.
  • Feather the Nest via thrifting and FB Marketplace
  • Reading & listening to books – self-improvement, biographies, leadership, suspense

What is a fun fact about you?

I lettered in football in high school. My freshman year. 😊

What is your favorite snack/treat?

Kitchen Sink Cookie from Panera Bread

What song inspires or motivates you (who sings it)?

Can’t pick just one! Right now, CeCe Winans’ “That’s My King,” “Holy Forever,” and “Goodness of God” inspires me. “Good Morning” & “Overcomer” by Mandisa, “Walking on Sunshine” (Katrina & the Waves) & “All Star” (Smash Mouth) motivate me.

What is something you’re proud of and why?

I started back to college on a landmark birthday and got my bachelor’s degree in business administration – 4.0 GPA – 3 years later. I couldn’t walk the stage to accept my degree, however, because I came down with a wicked case of the stomach flu that day. ☹

What is your personal and professional journey that led you to Call to Freedom?

After 16 years working for a mission-driven organization, I prayed I would find another organization that was both faith-based and mission-driven for my next career adventure.  I knew this was a “God thing” after the initial interview. I am humbled and honored to be on staff at CTF!

What kinds of projects are you most excited to work on at Call to Freedom?

At this point (one week on the job), I am most excited to help my colleagues however I can to make their workload easier.  In the upcoming months, I am excited to see how my experience and skills can help move the vision and mission of CTF forward!

Why do you believe in the mission of Call to Freedom?

CTF advocates for and serves those who have been adversely impacted by the scourge of human trafficking. Bob Goff (Author of “Love Does”) quoted a hotel porter once, and it was both simple and profound to me when I heard it. “How can I help you find your way?” In that sense, this team at Call to Freedom walks alongside those who need help “finding their way,” offering hope and a healing path to wholeness.

How do you think your position at Call to Freedom is important to the mission?

Each member of the CTF team has a unique role in keeping the mission of CTF alive, collaborating with each other and our community partners, creating an awesome synergistic effect to further the mission and vision of CTF. As the Administrative Assistant, I contribute to the vision and mission by taking care of the logistics and details for the human resources, operations and finance team so they can do their best work.
