Board of Directors
Rachel Hopkins (she/her)
President/Founder
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) that was raised in Burlington and currently lives in Mebane with my partner and two children. I enjoy working with adults to recover from trauma and helping people accept all parts of themselves. When I am not working here or at my practice, you will see me working with Alamance Children’s Theatre as Vice President. I also love spending time in my garden, raising houseplants, reading, practicing yoga, and spending time with my family, friends, and pets.
Kimberly Kimbro (she/her)
Vice President
My name is Kimberly Kimbro. I am a Transgender Woman and my pronouns are she/her. I was born and raised in Alamance County and the surrounding areas and have lived here ever since. I have known since I was a very small child that I was born into the wrong body. I came out to my family and friends a few years ago. I publicly transitioned in May of 2021 and have been living the best life since! My goal is to be an inspiration to other transgender and non-binary individuals who may be struggling with their identity. I would love to be able to help anyone to be able to come out and accept themselves for who they truly are.
Julie Tyson (she/her)
My name is Julie Tyson. I am a native North Carolinian and the youngest child of a United Methodist minister and a life-long public school teacher. I came out as a lesbian in 1982 and wish that there was a Trasncend Alamance or any organization that could have offered this kind of support to me as a young person. I am proud to be a part of this organization and look forward to all that lies ahead.
Greg Hopkins (he/him)
I am an Alamance County native and currently live in Haw River with my family. I have been a graphic designer for over 20 years in the automotive restoration industry also doing freelance design in many different fields. I grew up skateboarding, listening to punk rock/alternative music, and creating all types of art. The diversity of the skateboarding and music community gave me the opportunity to learn about the differences in people, peer groups, and societal structures. When I find the time I love hiking, photography, music, art, family, pets, reading, podcasts, old cars, and eating good food. I believe that everyone deserves to be happy and comfortable in their bodies!
