My name is Christie M Eckler. My personal mission is Helping those Who Help Others.  I have worked in the nonprofit sector as a social work supervisor with many years of programmatic experience, with the last several years serving in leadership roles that positively impact some of the most vulnerable persons in our community. My experiences have led me to the philanthropic side of social services and the academic setting. My focus is primarily fund development and advocacy. I enjoy volunteering to help with various community initiatives and planning and writing for small nonprofits in my local community. I enjoy raising financial support and awareness for UT Arlington and utilizing my networking abilities and other skills to make a positive impact in my community for various initiatives.

I graduated with my master’s degree in Social Work with a concentration in Community and Administrative Practice from University of Texas at Arlington. I am a proud wife and mom to three fantastic daughters.

My favorite quote is: The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. —Gandhi
