Serving Rockwall and Kaufman Counties
The Lone Star CASA Team
Rockwall Location:
Lauren Rowe
My name is Lauren Rowe and I am the Executive Director of Lone Star CASA. I have the privilege of overseeing the organization, raising awareness and increasing funding to provide the volunteers and staff the tools they need to ensure the kids we serve are taken care of and find a safe and healthy home. I started in November 2019 with the organization but have spent my career in non-profit, specifically organizations that served victims or children. I have truly enjoyed my time at CASA and getting to know all those that are passionate about this organization and the role we play in protecting abused and neglected children in our community. I am married to Brian and we have two young girls, London and Laurel. My favorite thing to do to relax is cooking in the kitchen. I love food and love preparing it.
Elizabeth Mosman
My name is Elizabeth Mosman and I am the Program Manager at Lone Star CASA. I have worked in child welfare for over 15 years and during this time I worked with child placing agencies and residential programs serving youth who have experienced abuse and/or neglect. I currently live in Rockwall with my husband and two daughters. Outside of the office, I enjoy being with my family watching our favorite sports teams, trying new restaurants, and spending time at the pool or the lake.
Beth Yturri
My name is Beth Yturri and I am the Development Manager at Lone Star CASA. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to serve in arts nonprofits, working in community outreach and educational programs, special events, and fundraising. Prior to my time spent working in nonprofits, I worked in public schools as an art educator for seven years. I am pleased to be returning to serve kids, now working to ensure the financial well-being of Lone Star CASA so that we can continue to fulfill our mission of serving and protecting children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect in Rockwall and Kaufman counties. In my free time, I am an artist who enjoys painting and creating pottery. I also have a passion for gardening and voter registration.
Mariela Lomeli
My name is Mariela Lomeli, and I am the Marketing Coordinator for Lone Star CASA. I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in advertising and have worked with nonprofit organizations and with children. I spend some weekends as an art instructor for art therapy workshops. In my free time, I enjoy vacationing in Jalisco, Mexico, walking my dog Chappie at the park, and building puzzles.
Tahj Walker
My name is Tahj Walker, and I serve as a Child Advocacy Specialist with Lone Star CASA. I previously worked as a Child Protective Investigator with the Department of Family and Protective Services and centered my legal studies around child abuse victimization, domestic violence concerns and avenues to reach at-risk communities in need of additional resources. During my down time, I teach my 2-year-old daughter about Dallas Cowboys fandom, and we sing melodies constantly (I did A Cappella Choir in high school and college). I also enjoy cooking numerous cuisines and taking road trips to see family in various parts of the country.
Lindsay Brosin
My name is Lindsay Brosin, and I serve as a Child Advocacy Specialist with Lone Star CASA. I received a Master of Science in Human Development and Early Childhood Disorders from The University of Texas at Dallas and have previously worked as an ECI Intervention Specialist and high school FASE teacher in Wylie ISD. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and serving the Wylie ISD community through Wylie Way outreach events.

We moved from Tempe Arizona approximately 20 years ago and have been in Rockwall for the past 16 years. During my free time, I volunteer as a swim official for USA swimming and YMCA swimming.
