Meet the Staff

Sandy Watson has been the Executive Director of the House of T.I.M.E. since early 2005. Sandy has been in management most of her professional life and realizes being at work should not actually be a “job” but a “passion”, and stated “anything less than that and you have cheated yourself of a great opportunity to be happy”.  She holds a Master’s in Business Administration and Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Management with a minor in Psychology and Marketing, which come in handy daily as she “changes hats” from Director, Speaker, Computer Tech, etc. Along with her degrees she has a Project Management Certification and many hours of hands-on managerial experience. When Sandy was asked what she wanted people to know about her, she replied “will people really read that stuff” and then laughed. On a more serious note, she stated “When people experience trauma or severe life stressor,  it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel and rock bottom comes a lot faster than they realize. My great passion is to help my clients, who include women and children to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen the life around them to help them get out from under that “rock” and build a new… a new way of thinking…a new way of life!” As Executive Director, she prides herself in leaving any situation better than the way she found it and hopes to be known as a fair, compassionate, non-judgmental and caring person that will “love you, even when you don’t know how to love yourself.”
