Medicaid Benefits Specialist

Felicia Sharp brings with her 7+ years of experience in the administrative field. She previously worked as a contractor for the federal government processing travel documents, and as a caseworker for the state of Arkansas. She wishes to help provide families with the information and assistance needed when making decisions about Long-Term Care for their loved ones. She recently went through this process with her grandparents and had a hard time finding what options were available to her family. “These are difficult decisions for families to make. Especially when they don’t know all of their options or how to carry out their wishes for their loved ones. I want to help lighten the load for family members during this difficult time when it feels like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. EEPA has taught me so much that I wish I knew when we were making these decisions and I want to help other families learn what resources are available to them as well.

Felicia has two wonderful children, Trista and Clay. When she is not in the office, you will likely find her at a baseball field with her husband, Stephen, who coaches her son’s travel baseball team. They are members of the Glen Rose community and enjoy raising their myotonic goats and their fur baby Daisy the goldendoodle. Most importantly, she loves Jesus and lives her life guided and directed by her faith.
