Our Board of Directors

I’m a native Nashvillian and current Franklin resident, proud father of five (ages 25, 23, 20, 18, and 15), and have been married to my high school sweetheart, Emily, for 32 years. I’ve spent my entire professional life in investment management, including 19 years with Capital Group and currently a Senior Vice President with Capital Group Private Client Services.
Outside of my family and my career, I’m deeply committed to supporting community initiatives that promote dignity, hope, and healing. As the child of a single mother, I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to reclaim her life and rediscover her worth—with dignity. Although my personal connection to Mending Hearts’ mission has been more peripheral, I’ve come to understand, through the stories and experiences of others, just how deeply personal and transformative the work truly is. I’ve witnessed the resilience it takes to rise from brokenness, and I’m honored to walk alongside those who are doing that courageous work.

Shannon Presley Martin serves as the Vice Chair of the Mending Hearts Board of Directors, bringing a deep commitment to service, community well-being, and second chances. She has served as Executive Director of the Martin Foundation since 2005, where her work focuses on supporting initiatives that strengthen individuals, families, and neighborhoods through philanthropy, social services, and educational opportunities.
Shannon’s dedication to Mending Hearts is rooted in her belief that recovery and restoration are possible when compassion meets action. She is passionate about empowering women to rebuild their lives and re-engage with their communities, and she approaches her leadership role with both strategic insight and heartfelt advocacy.
Beyond her philanthropic work, Shannon treasures her role as wife and mother. She and her husband, healthcare entrepreneur Charlie Martin, have been married for 19 years and are the proud parents of three children: Hazel, Annabella, and Riley Ray. Whether through her professional endeavors or personal commitments, Shannon’s life reflects her core values—family, joy, work and the belief in every person’s capacity for change.

I’m an East Nashville resident and lived in Nashville for over 15 years, proud dog mom of Nessie the Newfypoo. I’ve spent most of my professional career advising companies all over the world in finance and accounting. More recently I worked in financial reporting at a behavioral healthcare company and currently working in finance and accounting at a clinical research company.
After returning to East Nashville from Europe over five years ago, I developed a deeper appreciation for the power of community in transforming lives. Having always benefited from a strong network of family and friends, I’m passionate about ensuring that same sense of connection is available to the women Mending Hearts serves. As a board member, I am honored to help guide and strengthen the organization’s mission—providing strategic support, building community partnerships, and advocating for the resources that make recovery and healing possible. Mending Hearts’ dedication to restoring hope and opportunity resonates deeply with me, and I’m committed to fostering its impact in our community.

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area and moved to Nashville in 2009. I live in Whites Creek with my wife Bonnie. I have two adult children Michael and Matthew Glueck. Bonnie and I met while on business in San Franscico California and we have been married since 2011. We founded Piccolo Farms Animal Sanctuary a 501(c)3 non-profit back in 2018 where we provide loving homes for more than 200 formerly neglected and abused animals. The work of the sanctuary is inspired by Proverbs 24:11 that includes partnering with area non-profit organizations to help support their efforts surrounding sexual abuse and addiction recovery. We also work with terminally ill children and their families to provide them with love, support and healing through the gentle kindness of our animal residents.
Professionally, I run sales for Advocate Capital, Inc. and serve on their Executive Leadership Team. Advocate Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Financial Partners, and I have been with them for 11 years and counting. We work exclusively with contingent fee law firms assisting them with the capital structures of their practices helping them obtain the best possible results for their clients.
I am a grateful follower of Jesus and believe deeply in second chances and have witnessed firsthand the saving power of Grace and forgiveness. It is an honor to support and serve the critical mission of Mending Hearts.

The Mending Hearts mission is deeply meaningful to me because it centers women who are so often overlooked. Women who are rebuilding their lives after trauma, addiction, and incarceration. As someone who speaks often about the challenges working women face, I know how easy it is for society to put women in boxes, to judge their pasts, or to underestimate their potential. I believe in second chances. I believe in the power of community, opportunity, and dignity. Mending Hearts is about healing, yes. But it’s also about hope, empowerment, and giving women the tools and support they need to move forward. That’s the kind of mission I want to stand behind.

My home is in West Nashville with my husband, daughter and two dogs. We moved here in 2021 and immediately felt at home, welcomed by what I can only describe as an awareness of what connects us all to one another.

My heart-centered leadership and studies in business and health behavior change led me to a vocation in healthcare and marketing. And my passion for women’s wellbeing and empowerment led me to board service here at Mending Hearts – a special place of hope and healing in Nashville. Throughout my life I’ve been the type of person who leaned in when others leaned out. Someone who sees the best for the future and works to achieve it. I’m honored to work together with incredible community leaders, bringing my heart, reverence, and abilities to serve the Mending Hearts mission.

Kayla brings over a decade of experience in organic social media marketing. She began her career in the music industry, where she spent 10 years honing her skills in marketing and brand development. A chance opportunity to manage social media quickly turned into a passion, leading her to work with freelance clients and eventually launch her own social media marketing business. Today, she specializes in helping startups and small businesses build community and brand awareness online.
Kayla joined the Mending Hearts board because the organization’s mission is deeply personal to her. With family members who have struggled with addiction, she was moved by the work Mending Hearts does to support and empower women in recovery, and felt compelled to contribute her time and talents to the cause.
She’s known for her creative thinking, strategic approach, and deep understanding of how to connect with audiences authentically.

I’m a transplant from the central California coast by way of Michigan, Indiana, and Washington DC. Now retired, I spent my career with HUD and then MDHA In community development and housing (including disaster housing before FEMA) and did a lot of on-the-job learning about low-income housing and community investment tax credits, tax-increment financing, bonds, and other forms of housing finance (quite a stretch for a Sociology major).
Many, many years ago, I had a friend and co-worker get into drug trouble and sent to jail. She introduced me to a few fellow inmates (and they introduced me to still others) and I became deeply acquainted with their needs and challenges. One day while I was paying someone’s rent at Mending Hearts, Trina invited me to come on their Board. I’ve watched the organization blossom from the single family house in Hope Gardens to a huge footprint in west Nashville and now its launch into Inglewood—all reaching out to an overwhelming need.
