As a Venezuelan immigrant living in Tulsa for the past 25 years, I understand the cultural and language challenges the immigrant community faces as they navigate their new life. 

Since 2002 my professional experience has allowed me to excel in the field of entrepreneurship, economic development and community outreach. I am and forever will be an advocate for entrepreneurs, especially those facing added challenges due to lack of knowledge and/or access to resources.

Aside from my professional life, I have devoted my free time to advocating for the Hispanic community, and to ensuring the prosperity of our city of Tulsa; a city which I absolutely love.

I have served on many boards and commissions, where I have used the platform to advocate for affordable housing, support for immigrants, and inclusive economic development. In 2020 I was appointed by the Mayor of Tulsa as a trustee of the Tulsa Authority for Economic Development (TAEO), now Partner Tulsa, where I currently serve as Vice Chair.

I would be honored to to be the one you choose to further your advocacy and outreach to ensure all Tulsa entrepreneurs have a fair change at succeeding!

Along with being CEO of Flourish Ministries, Beth is Registered Nurse, and she last worked for Saint Francis Hospice. God has used Beth in nursing for over 20 years, in management positions, as a youth leader for inner city youth, and as a God-Mom to one of her youth girls who lived with her and inspired her to start Flourish Homes.

 

Beth has done mission work in India, Turkey, Egypt, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. She moved to Tulsa to attend Victory Bible College and is a graduate of their Practical Ministries and Missions program.

 

Beth is passionate about helping girls thrive and flourish! She has always had a heart to mother, even when she was not yet a mother herself. As a youth leader, she identified that many young women simply cannot make it on their own when they are missing critical supports like family, basic necessities, and a relationship with God and His church.

 

It is her belief that when kids are 18 and aging out of foster care or in other tough circumstances, they are not “grown-up.” Young adults still need caring adults to help them navigate adulthood.  Flourish Ministries aims to fill in the missing gaps and be that caring adult. Flourish became incorporated in December 2013. They opened their doors to full-time programming in 2019 when they were invited to take over the Manna House Program in Tulsa. They quickly closed again due to zoning and location issues. In October of 2020 they moved to the Circle of Care Campus on Gilcrease Museum Road where they are fully operational today.

 
Beth is passionate about raising up young daughters who are whole and healthy who can serve God and others.
