Katie Terrell- Executive Director

Katie Terrell grew up in New Vienna, Ohio. After graduating from East Clinton High School and Baldwin Wallace University (Berea, Ohio), life and Christian ministry have led her down many paths, from book and magazine editing for a non-profit in Richmond, Indiana, to serving as a missionary at an orphanage in San Felipe, Mexico. She began serving as a volunteer Hope House hostess in 2018. In June 2021 she moved into the role of House Manager, overseeing the daily needs -- groceries, housekeeping, donations, volunteer scheduling -- of the shelter.
