Meet the Coordinator

A recent addition to the Mountain Home community, Darby and her husband, Lucas, moved here in 2025 after their wedding in April. They’ve embraced their new life, with Darby diving into her work at the Foundation just one month after their whirlwind move and marriage.

Originally from Malvern, Arkansas, Darby graduated from Henderson State University in 2020 and has built a career dedicated to supporting her community, including her time at the Percy and Donna Malone Child Safety Center in Arkadelphia. With a passion for hands-on service, she’s excited to bring that same energy and commitment to the Schliemann Center for Women's Health.

In addition to her professional achievements, Darby is a lover of music, animals, and all things creative. She leads worship, teaches guitar, and dreams of someday owning a small hobby farm. Above all, she is driven by her faith and is passionate about empowering and educating women in all stages of life.
