One of the most capable, thoughtful, and mission-driven people I’ve ever worked with

“She’s a natural at navigating the needs of clients, executive leadership, and staff—all while creating clear, organized, and efficient operational structures that support long-term success.

What has always stood out most to me is Carissa’s deep sense of purpose. When she believes in something, she shows up with her whole heart and an unwavering work ethic.”

-Kayla Grayson, Chief Operating Officer at Viles & Beckman

Dependable & Capable

“I have had the privilege of working alongside Carissa and witnessing the heart, humility, and strength she brings to every interaction. She embodies compassion, integrity… Whether navigating complex situations or simply offering a listening ear, Carissa carries the kind of steady presence that creates safety, trust, and hope.

What stands out most is her ability to see people through the lens of redemption—not defined by what they’ve been through, but by the purpose and value God has placed on their lives.

She is not only dependable and capable, but deeply rooted in her faith, and brings that grounding into every aspect of her care for others.”
