Since then, Josephine has made it her mission to help families with children who have a disability or chronic illness that need resources and direction. Josephine sees herself as a powerful force in the workplace and uses her positive attitude and tireless energy to encourage her clients to work hard and succeed in what they desire and not allow their disability to stop them from what they want to accomplish. Josephine is inspired daily by her family and close friends. Aside from being a full-time case manager with Uniting Parents, Josephine is also a Manager at the Dumas McDonalds in the evenings and loves spending her free time with family. Josephine loves to dance, listen to the 80’s and cumbias sonidera’s. She loves watching true crime documentaries, relaxing in bed with her 5 cats, Panther, Simba, Truly, Storm E, and Winter, and watching the Dallas Cowboys, win or lose. Josephine attends church with her family and is a strong believer in God. Life and living it to the most is an important part of Josephine as she lost her 24-year-old son Nick in 2020 to suicide. Her motto is Live Life to the Fullest and another is Laughter is the Best Medicine. Josephine is happy to be a part of the Coalition of Health Service and serving her clients and eager to meet new ones.
