Meet Our Team

Hey, there, my name is Shawna Strickland, and I just recently moved to Washington. My long-time sweetheart of 30 years, Jason, and I recently relocated from south-central Texas to Okanogan to become the new student ministry leaders at New Life Church. I love being in community and sharing the vision of growing stronger family units through the resources CARENET NCW provides. The values I live by are centered in Christ Jesus: for life, love and to live in true victory of the first two. It is an honor to serve our communities as the new executive director for CARENET NCW.

I am originally from Mexico, I have lived in Brewster for a few years, but 20 years living here in the United States, I am married to my first love Fausto Martínez, we have two beautiful children; a 9-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy. I am grateful to Jesus Christ for having given me the opportunity to know and accept Him since 2011, since then I like to be and get involved in the events of my church and support as much as possible. I am also excited and grateful to God for allowing me to collaborate with CareNet helping pregnant women and counseling couples. I like to listen to people and give my best.

I was born and raised in the Omak Area where I met my loving and hardworking hubby, Kyle. Together we are raising our 3 – year old son and 1 – year old daughter. We call Cornerstone Christian Fellowship our home and have been involved from children’s ministry of our youth to the littlest one in nursery and everything in between. In between working the finances and being the mom, my kids need I enjoy being outside in the yard and spending time with my family. I have loved the Okanogan County and excited to be apart of the CARENET family and serve as the Financial Manager.
