Tiffani McGallion
Advocate Supervisor
Jasper/Hardin/Sabine County
I grew up in Spurger, Texas and went to Spurger High School from Pre-K through 12th grade. I was in 4-H and FFA and did many livestock projects which included goats, lambs and cattle. I attended Angelina Community college and graduated with an Associates in Criminal Justice. I then proceeded to further my education when I attended Sam Houston State University and received my Bachelors in Criminal Justice with a Community Academic Certification. I did my internship with Angelina County Juvenile Probation and found my love for children that just need some guidance. Upon graduation from SHSU I moved to San Antonio to be a CPS Investigator and continued to be an Investigator after moving back home and working in Jasper. I continued to stay close to where I was raised and now I am raising my own family. I have a son and a daughter and they and my husband are my world. Since being a young child my heart has been for children and their safety.
~~~Be kind to children today, for tomorrow they will be our leaders.~~~
