A Fort Worth resident has found inspiration in her grandmother's legacy. Courtney Siegel Landes, a licensed clinical social worker, credits her grandmother Evelyn Siegel as a motivation for her work. Landes is currently a supervisor at Lena Pope in Fort Worth.

Her path to social work was not straightforward, involving multiple degrees from the University of Texas in Austin. Further details about Landes' journey and her work at Lena Pope are available from the Fort Worth Report.
