La’Asia Hall

La’Asia Hall, Empower Case Manager

I have always had a deep passion for helping others. Whether it's offering support during difficult times or simply being there to listen, I find purpose in making a positive difference in people’s lives. Social work allows me to turn that passion into a profession—one where I can advocate for those in need, support individuals and families, and help create stronger, healthier communities.

“LaAsia has a passion to help others, and I know that she will do great things. Her start as a caseworker has not been the easiest road, in spite of this, I have seen LaAsia learn from her mistakes, gain confidence, and truly blossom. I am so honored that I get to see her continue to grow.”

Terri Strong

Terri Strong, DFPS Caseworker

I got into the field of social work because I love working with people, helping others, creating positive change, and everlasting impacts, which is overall, incredibly rewarding. Every day is different; it's never the same day. Meeting people from all walks of life is challenging, and an opportunity to learn something new every day.

She goes beyond expectations to assist families in acquiring the resources they need to keep families together. Her respect for her peers and leadership is exemplary to her proteges. She is a team player and a very supportive member to our program.”
