Our Team
Executive Director
Teri Gore
Director of Operations
Hello World! My name is Whitney Petree and I am a proud native of Louisiana, having grown up all along I-10! If you're looking for me, you can find me in nature or in one of life's many beautiful books. I like a little bit of everything and think life should forever have a mixture of music, laughter, and learning. I standby that there is probably a movie or tv quote for every situation. “Love everybody, always.” - Bob Goff who was paraphrasing Jesus!

Whether I’m serving behind the scenes, leading with compassion, or simply showing up for someone in need, I lead with heart and intention—always putting people first.

Alyson Gage
Lovewell Member Advocate
As a dedicated Member Advocate at The Lovewell, I'm passionate about uplifting others, building meaningful relationships, and helping our community thrive through compassion and faith. Guided by my belief in God and the conviction that everyone deserves to be heard and supported, I strive to spread love in all I do. When I'm not connecting with members, I enjoy recharging by the ocean or spending time with my family believing that a little salt air and a lot of love can make the world a better place.
