Rebecca Davis is a native of Tennille, Georgia, and has lived in Jacksonville, Florida since 1997. Rebecca is happily married to Willie Davis and is an active member of her church where she leads the Helping Hands Ministry and sings in the choir. She is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority Incorporated. Rebecca received her Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration from Albany State University in Albany, Georgia. She has over 20 years of professional experience to include serving on the management teams that allowed her to develop and lead team members to show genuine concern for people. She steadfastly believes that one of her primary purposes is to serve God and others.
Rebecca was inspired to start the nonprofit R.E.S.T.O.R.E. (Rebuilding Ex-Offenders Successfully Through Opportunities Rehabilitation and Education), because of her love for people and her belief that we all deserve another chance. She has encountered many ex-offenders who have shared how difficult it was to function on the outside after serving their sentences. She strongly believes that if the necessary services are provided and skills developed, the chances of recidivism are drastically reduced. Rebecca’s ultimate goal for R.E.S.T.O.R.E. is to build hope, character, and stronger communities, not more prisons.
