Tina's Experience: Tina is the Founding and Executive Director of CrossBridge and Co-Director of Restoration House. Operating in the heart of one of Nashville's most impoverished and high crime areas, CrossBridge seeks to end the destructive cycles of generational poverty, addiction and incarceration that plague this community. When Tina moved to Nashville 17 years ago and began working at Trevecca, her heart was moved to make a difference after daily seeing the suffering occurring on and around the Murfreesboro Road area. Her passion for change led to the establishment of CrossBridge and the development of our Restoration House and KidPower Programs. Restoration House has grown from six beds in 2009 to its current capacity of 65. Men and women are finding freedom from addiction while our KidPower Program serves students from the Napier/Sudekum communities and seeks to break the generational cycle of addiction.
Tina is a credentialed Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and has earned the Offender Workforce Development Specialist (OWDS) credential from the National Institute of Corrections where she also qualified as an OWDS Instructor. She is an ordained Elder in the Church of the Nazarene and serves as Compassionate Ministries Director at Trevecca Community Church. Tina enjoys cycling on Nashville's beautiful greenways and loves being MiMi to Payton and Parker, her two grandchildren.
