Executive Board:
Shanise (Shawn) Hart, Chief Executive Officer & Advocate
Hi! My name is Shawn Hart. I am the CEO and Founder of Three Hart Connection. I created this organization specifically for those who have experienced domestic violence or intimate partner violence and the communities who support them. We work with other agencies, companies, allies and have also created our own programs to provide services and resources to those in the domestic violence community. I am a mother, disabled veteran and have a BA in Organizational Management. My experience as a survivor of domestic violence has provided me the unique opportunity to educate and empower others from a first-hand perspective. I am passionate about advocating and helping people discover their true mental and physical strength on their journey to freedom. My goal is to cultivate a powerful community of thrivers & to execute God's purpose for my life.
Crystal Hart, Chief Operations Officer & Advocate
Hello, my name is Crystal Hart, and I am the COO at Three Hart Connection. My undergrad is in American Sign Language English Interpretation (ASLEI) with a minor in Biology and I also have a PharmD degree. I am in Pharmaceutical Research by trade. What I am most passionate about with our nonprofit is mental well-being. I truly believe that you have to start with a good foundation to live a happy and healthy life. When you value and love yourself, you have the strength to walk away from people that may be harmful to you and your loved ones. I am also a veteran and a mother. My goal is for Three Hart Connection to be a great network of helpful information and resources to empower survivors in every way.
Candice Hart, Chief Financial Officer & Advocate
Hello, I am Candice Hart, and I am the CFO at Three Hart Connection. I am an Air Force veteran and am studying to be a nurse. I am passionate about taking care of people and helping others figure out what is needed to take the next positive step. Mental health has always been very important to me. That feeling has multiplied substantially after my time in the military and different relationships I have been in. Thankfully, God has granted us all free will which opens the door for many different experiences. You will find that we all have many our own experiences in our organization; each one built to empower us all to propel one another to another level. We are here to help in any way possible!
