Meet Christine “Tina” Evans. She has been a CASA volunteer since 2013. She has worked on three cases and has made a difference in the lives of each of those children. She found out about CASA through working for Timothy Ellender, Jr. She would walk past the CASA office when the office was on Goode St. and eventually called and got some information then signed up for the class. We are so glad that she did. Tina states that she chose CASA because it is so hard to believe that we have so many children in our parish suffering and she wanted to be part of the solution to fix it. Her heart for the children is apparent whenever she talks about the issues involving the kids. She would like to see changes in the law to better protect the youth of our parish.

Tina is the mother of three children Catherine, Thomas, and Caroline. As a professional, she is a legislative assistant to Representative Jerome Zeringue. She also does the end-of-the-month reporting for a local business, Heavenly Scent. In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors with her beau Craig, fishing, hunting, running, or anything outside. Tina is a native of Houma. She was born and raised here. She did move to Georgia for a while but feels so blessed to be back home. Something fun about Tina is that when she was 20 years old she worked for Gary Seacrest, Ryan Seacrest’s father. She also met Hank Aaron, but she didn’t know who he was and her excuse, was their TV only played Saints football! And YES, she did tell him that.

When asked what advice she would give to someone thinking about being a CASA she said, “Take one day at a time. We have the most amazing supervisors to help with everything.” CASA of Terrebonne is blessed to have Tina as a CASA volunteer. Her passion is contagious! Her drive will be a factor in getting laws, policies and procedures changed.
