LaKreasta Taylor

As an import from California, I have a unique West Coast view of people and communities. This experience allows a wider and diverse perspective for identifying the unique nuances for families within a widespan of varying communities. I also have a sibling who requires special care.
In my day to day work I am a Senior Program Manager at Amazon and have experience in international logistics and operations management, as well as working for the State of California within a range of State Departments that focused on consumers, environment protection and tourism marketing.
I live for tennis and have a background in competitive play; grow food to donate to local food banks; tour the world, am a FurMama to an amazing Flemish Giant Rabbit named Koa. I am a connector of people and create a safe environment for those around me to learn and grow. I am passionate about the support and services Dads MOVE brings to the state and I believe in the Mission, Vision and values that Dads MOVE encompasses.

Meet Our Team

Nelson Rascon

Executive Director

I currently serve as the Executive Director for Dads M.O.V.E.

My involvement with the nonprofit world started as I was raising my three special needs children. While searching for support for my children, I collaborated and built relationships with several nonprofits and parent support groups. I have shared my life experiences helping my family and began helping others.
From this work, I developed a passion for helping other parents, particularly fathers, navigate the challenges of parenthood.
My expertise is rooted in personal experience, National Peer Certification (2009), certification in additional training modules, certified training module development, and serving as a Peer Certified Counselor. I have also attended and presented at several national conferences.
It was in 2007 that I decided to launch Dads M.O.V.E. with a host of dadvocates. I seek to expand awareness about mental health and special needs for my community.
