Katrina Benson (She/Her)
Continuing Care Specialist
Hi, My name is Katrina. I am the Continuing Care Specialist in Saint Mary's County Maryland. I enjoy assisting others in and out of my Community. I love traveling, eating fine cuisine, shopping, and making others laugh. My favorite color is purple, and my favorite fragrance is Eucalyptus. I enjoy moments of serenity and solace. And though I love nature, I dislike bugs. I have learned many things while working in the Behavioral Health Field. This experience has assisted me with the tools necessary to properly educate Peers who come into our Office for services. This experience has also assisted me personally and with my loved ones. My job is very rewarding, and I look forward to what beholds my future in this field.

Riley Brown (He/Him)
Recovery Coach
Hello Friends,
My name is Riley, a person with Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders, and a person raised around and by family in active addiction. Having seen how addiction impacted my family and having felt the war of emotions within my younger self as a result of my environment, I knew I wanted to help families like mine. At the beacon of hope, I have found a chosen family of professionals from various walks of life. There is a coach for everyone and anyone who walks through our doors.
When not at the beacon, I enjoy walking my dog with my partner, eating way too many tacos, and being at home surrounded by my 3 cats, dog, and various houseplants. My favorite color is green and I have a massive sweet tooth!
El'Quire Brown (He/Him)
Recovery Coach
My name is El'quire "El," and I am a Recovery Coach at Beacon of Hope, where I've had the privilege of supporting individuals in recovery for the past several years. As a U.S. Army veteran, a person in long-term recovery, and someone living with PTSD, I understand firsthand the challenges that can come with rebuilding your life and finding hope again.
My lived experience allows me to connect with others on a personal level, offering support, encouragement, and understanding without judgment. I am passionate about helping people recognize their strengths, navigate their recovery journey, and realize that lasting change is possible.
Gloria Daniels (She/Her)

Being in recovery is an everyday adventure, full of wonderful gifts of acceptance and belonging!
