Deanna is a mom of three amazing children, Austin, Adriana and Ashley, who are a huge part of her story! She is a 2012 graduate of Pensacola Teen Challenge where she served on staff as the Education Coordinator for 3 years. Her heart to serve the Lord sent her abroad and she served as a missionary overseas under Reimagine for approximately 3 years.

Before joining the team at Saving Grace, Deanna previously served on staff at the San Antonio campus of Adult and Teen Challenge, leading the Marketing and Development Department.

In May of 2021, Deanna relocated to Baker, Florida where she served as the Executive Director for two years. In her time in Florida she was instrumental in building what has continued to be a thriving program. In May of 2023, Deanna finished her commitment in Florida and returned to the mission field, helping to start a program for orphaned children in Peru.

In April of 2024, Deanna answered the call to come back and serve at Saving Grace, this time as the Executive Director in Brandon, MS.

Deanna knows that it was her relationship with her Lord and Savior that transformed her heart and mind and wants to share that same gift with ladies that are still struggling. She desires to see women walk out freedom from all life controlling struggles and be healed at the root.
