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)
Lead Recovery Coach
I am Gloria, a person in recovery. To me, that means working on changing attitudes, people, places, and things. I have learned that regaining self-respect and self- esteem and believing in the journey brings many rewards. Being in recovery is an everyday adventure, full of wonderful gifts of acceptance and belonging!
Norman Davis (He/Him)
Youth Mentor/Transitional Mentor
I believe every young person deserves someone in their corner who will listen, support them, and keep it real. As a Youth Mentor, I help youth prepare for their transition into The Beacon when they turn 18, making sure they know they don't have to navigate that next step alone.
I bring an older brother vibe to mentoring by being an active listener, a strong advocate, and someone youth can trust to see them, hear them, and respect them. My goal is to build genuine relationships that help young people gain confidence, overcome challenges, and realize their full potential.
Laura Stewart Webb (She/Her)
Director of Engagement and Special Projects
Welcome to our network of growth and healing! I thank this group of colleagues, our beloved Southern Maryland community, and all those who make these services possible. I am always learning and growing and hope to do so with you!
Robert Whalen (He/Him)

I've been with Beacon of Hope for several years now. This is a great opportunity to work surrounded by people who care. I am still learning and having fun while working in a safe place.
