Staff: Stevie Dickson

Stevie is a first-generation college graduate of Texas State University, where she earned her degree in Human Development and Family Sciences. Having spent several years in foster care before being adopted, Stevie brings both lived experience and professional expertise to her work advocating for children and youth.

Stevie has spent her career ensuring children and youth feel heard, empowered, and supported as they navigate their own journeys. As a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, she is passionate about building connections rooted in trust, understanding, and compassion. She believes that a young person’s beginning does not have to define their future and that every child deserves the opportunity to experience belonging and connection.

Stevie is also the author of A Memoir Lost and Found, a book about overcoming adversity and finding hope through life’s challenges. Through her personal story and professional work, she hopes to inspire others to recognize the power of resilience, the importance of being seen and heard, and the lasting impact of showing up for one another.

Outside of work, Stevie enjoys getting lost in a good book, traveling, seeing her favorite artists in concerts, and watching a good rom com movie.
