Deliska graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2013. She is currently a Licensed Master’s Social Worker (LMSW) and is working towards her clinical licensure.  

Deliska has long desired to be a voice for children who have no voice. She began that journey in 1994 by working as a house mother for 2 years at the Casa Hogar Gethsemani in Galeana, Mexico for up to 60 children. Once married, Deliska and her husband began working with children stateside, volunteering as CASA representatives in Tennessee. Deliska was a Forensic Interviewer and Therapist at Junior’s House Child Advocacy Center in 2012 and again in 2023. She was the Associate Director at TCFD/ Heaven Sent Children Adoption, coordinating programs for parents as well as adoption services across 14 counties in Tennessee. Deliska has also partnered with her husband for years, as Children’s Pastors at The Rock FWC, loving on kiddos during the Sunday experience, as well as managing their room for Champion’s students with unique needs. 

Deliska is trained in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavorial Therapy) TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) and the Cultivate Connection Parent Course. 

Throughout these years, Deliska and her husband fostered many children and adopted privately as well. She and her husband, Jeffrey, have 4 beautiful children, ranging in ages from 25 to 16.
