Celina Buchanan

Celina was raised in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her career began with Child Protective Services in Austin, where she advocated for vulnerable children and families. After returning to the Metroplex, Celina transitioned into education and discovered a deep commitment to addressing literacy challenges.

In 2007, she became a Certified Academic Language Therapist and have since specialized in dyslexia intervention across schools and private practice. Over nearly two decades, she has delivered evidence-based literacy programs, trained educators, and partnered with families to help students overcome barriers to learning. Her work has focused not only on improving academic outcomes but also on building confidence and resilience in children.

Beyond her professional role, Celina is actively engaged in community and faith-based initiatives that support children and families. As a long-time Oak Cliff resident, she brings both local insight and a strong advocacy background. Celina would be honored to serve with Brother Bill’s Helping Hand, contributing her expertise in education and child development to advance its mission of strengthening individuals and families in our community.
