Michelle Flores

Executive Director

Michelle Flores lives in Dallas. She is wife to Adan, mom to 2 precious girls, Isabelle and Brielle, and a devout Christian and follower of Jesus. She began her career as a teacher working with Kindergarten through 5th grade in a variety of positions at a Dallas Charter School and Irving ISD. With a degree in Education and Psychology from Dallas Baptist University, she used her education to work with young minds.

Her passion and heart for young lives has never changed since leaving education but she feels she is able to make a huge impact in their social emotional growth and support that motivates her to continue serving and advocating for this generation. 

Michelle has previously served on the board of Irving Womens Network, is the current President of the Irving Community Action Network, and also serves as a founding board member of The Alliance- nonprofit collaboration consisting of All Things Made New, Crisis Ministries, and The Main Place. She sees the value of working and partnering with others in order to make a larger impact for the community.
